PREFACE.

The original design of this volume was to form a series of Charters
and other deeds connected with Trinity College Church and Hospital,
Edinburgh, to serve as a companion to the similar volume of the St. Giles
Charters recently presented to the Members of the Bannatyne Club.
The Hospital of Soltre or Soutra having been annexed to that
foundation, its Chartulary, hitherto unpublished, seemed naturally to form
the first portion of such a collection. The importance of the volume, it
was thought, might further be increased by attempting to collect the foun-
dation charters of other Collegiate Churches of the city and county of
Edinburgh, consisting of St. Mary's in the Fields, commonly known as the
Kirk of Field, Restalrig, Corstorphine, Creichtoun, Dalkeith, and Rosslyn.
No separate Register of any of these Churches has been preserved, and
the few existing charters contained in protocol books, and other old tran-
scripts, for the most part occur in a very inaccurate or imperfect state.

In the Appendix to the Scotichronicon, as enlarged by Walter Bower,
Abbot of Inchcolme, there is a list of Monasteries, Priories, and other
religious houses which existed in Scotland during the reign of King James
the Second. Under the head Przefectur^, sive Pr^positur^, the follow-
ing sixteen Collegiate Churches are enumerated, with the names of the
founders ; Abirnethy, Bothanis, Bothvill, Carnewith, Corstorphin, Dalkeith,
Dirltoun, Douglas [Dunglas], Dunbar, Fowlis, Kilwinin [Kilmun] in Cowal,
Lyncloudan, Maybol, Methfven, Roslyn, St. Andrews. To two of these
Provostries a remote or fabulous antiquity is assigned, viz., " Abirnethy,

quam fundavit Garnach rex, filius Macdonach, Pictus ;" and St. Mary of
the Rock or Kirkheuch, " Sancti Andrese, quam fundavit Constantinus
secundus rex Scotorum." On the other hand, it is stated of Dirltoun that
only the nomination of Provost had taken place, and of Rosslyn and
Douglas,^ that the buildings were then in progress. Dempster, in his
Apparatus, Lib. i. De ReUgione,^ gives a similar list, derived " Ex Gilberto
Bruno." The name of Fowlis is omitted, but three others are somewhat
gratuitously added, " Killesmont, fundat Andreas Dempster." " Achterles,
fundat David Dempster baro de Muresk v. et Achterles ix. anno 1403,
charta originaria, et acta illius familijE." " Brechin, fundat Jacobus Demp-
ster baro de Carrestoun," &c. The founder of Abirnethy, he calls " Rex
Pictorum Garnard filius Macdonach anno 1273, Keldeis expulsis Canonici
Resfulares inducti."

The number of Collegiate Churches existing in Scotland at the period
of the Reformation amounted to about thirty-eight. The following tabular
view exhibits, as nearly as can be ascertained, the respective dates of foun-
dation, with the names of the founders of these establishments.^ One autho-
rity states, that " Collegiate Churches began to be built after King Alex-
ander the Third's time (1249-1286,) when the erecting of Monasteries was
discouraged by the Popes usurping the right of Patronages."'' It is doubtful
if any evidence can be shown of such Collegiate Churches having existed in
Scotland earlier than the reign of David the Second (1329-1371) ; and it will
be perceived they chiefly belong to the fifteenth century, when so much zeal
and munificence was displayed in the enlargement and decoration of the
buildings, and when all classes of society vied with each other in the endow-

ment of chaplainries for the maintenance of daily stated service, always
including prayers and singing of masses for the souls of the founders, their
relations, and benefactors. In Scotland, in more recent times, the term
Collegiate was applied to a Church where two ministers served the cure
as colleagues ; but it had previously borne a different and wider signification.
These Collegiate Churches, called Prcepositurce, were instituted for secular
priests or canons, and for choristers, and were under the jurisdiction of a
Dean or Provost ; and the service regulated very much as in a Cathedral.
Each of these churches consisted of a certain number of Prebendaries or
Canons, where they had their several stalls, and with their Dean or Provost
made up the Chapter. Most of these establishments, there is reason to be-
lieve, had existed as chapels or parish churches, long before they were thus
enlarged and endowed b}'^ the great landed proprietors in the neighbourhood.

It is not necessary in this place to enter into any details for illustrat-
ing the history of these establishments, beyond supplying some historical
notices respecting the Foundation, the chief Officials, and the Buildings of
the several Collegiate Churches of Mid-Lothian, to which the present
volume is restricted. But in the first instance, it may be proper to give an
account of the ancient Hospital and Church of Soltre.

THE HOSPITAL OF SOLTKE.

In former times, one of the chief thoroughfares from the South led over
Soltre or Soutra Hill, on the Western boundary of the county of Hadding-
ton. This hill, about seventeen miles from Edinburgh, is the highest elevation
to the west of that ridge or chain of mountains known as the Lammermuir
Hills, separating Lothian from Lauderdale. It is a dreary part of the
country, surrounded by bleak moorlands, and used to afford only scanty
pasture for sheep, until the modern improvements in agriculture have
brought some considerable tracts under cultivation. Near the summit of
the hill, or 1184 feet above the level of the sea, was the site of the ancient
Hospital and Church of Soltre. This Hospital, dedicated to the Holy
Trinity, was one of those religious establishments, of which a considerable
number existed in different parts of the kingdom,^ during the Middle Ages,
having been erected and endowed not only for stated religious service, but
for the benevolent purpose of maintaining a certain number of indigent
and infirm persons in the surrounding district, and of receiving for a
limited period, pilgrims and other travellers.

The Hospital of Soltre is usually said to have been founded by King
Malcolm the Fourth, in the year 1164. For this statement, the oldest
authority seems to be the continuator of the Scotichronicon, who wrote
about the middle of the fifteenth century. His words are: "Anno 1164,

vi THE HOSPITAL OF SOLTEE.

de concilio Walthevi abbatis de Melros, rex Malcolmus fundavit nobile mo-
nasterium de Cupro in Angus, et ante hoc Coenobium de Soltrey, ad via-
tores hospitandos.'" ^ But the King's charter, which contains a grant of the
lands of Brotherstanes extending to Lynden on the road to Roxburghe,
being the earliest of the present series, has no date, and makes no allusion
to the Hospital as having been newly founded. The period of his reign
however was from May 1153 to December 1165. Tradition is also
favourable to his claims as founder, as it is alleged he conferred on Soltre
the privilege of a sanctuary ; a road through Lauderdale (a name given to
the western part of the county of Berwick) leading towards Soltre was known
as Malcolm's road, and traces of it are said to be still visible ; while another
road or causeway through the moors towards Melrose acquired the name
of the Girthgate, gate signifying a road, and girth an asylum or sanctuary.^
The following account of Soltre, from Father R. Augustin Hay's " Scotia
Sacra," an unpublished work, compiled in the year 1700,^ may be quoted,
as furnishing some minute particulars regarding the Hospital and its loca-
lity which are not elsewhere to be met with. He commits, however, a palp-
able mistake in saying that David, Earl of Huntingdon, was -buried at
Soltre in 1219- The words in the Scotichronicon to which Hay evidently
refers, apud abbatiam de Sautreia sepidttis,^ unquestionably apply to Sawtrey,
a Cistercian abbey in Huntingdonshire.

Pringle. His residence is att Meusdenhead, a mile distant from the Hill. His buriall place is in
ane Isle of the Abbacie which is now decay'd ; the ruins only being conspicuous. The Hospitall
stood on the East of the Highway as you come from Edinburgh for Kelso ; on the West there
are att this day some Cotter houses. The building appears to have been very spacious. About
the midle hill towards Lothian near to the highway, there is a fountain called Ternity Well or
Trinity Well. On the south side of the hill att the foot tliere is a small brook which divideth
Lothian from Lauderdale. There is a village likewise distant from the Monastery about a mile
and a half nam'd Sowtry ; it is probable it belonged of old to the Hospitall.

King Malcolm's grant of the lands of Brotherstanes was renewed and
confirmed with extended privileges by his brother William the Lion ; while
Alexander the Third confirms an unrecorded grant made by his father
Alexander the Second, of half a chalder of oatmeal from the mill of Peebles.
The series of Charters, now first printed, records various other benefactors
during the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries. William, Bishop of St. Andrews
(1211-1226), confirms to the master and brethren of Soltre the Church of
St. Giles at Ormiston in East-Lothian, with its revenue to their proper use •
and likewise the Church of Strathmartin in Forfarshire. The churches
of Lympetlaw, and of Wemyss, were assigned by Richard Germyne of Lym-
petlaw, and John of Methkill. Among other feudal barons or neighbouring
landowners, bequests were made by David Olyfard, Richard son of Michael

of Paistoun, Thomas of Cranstoun, Duncan of Swanystoun, and Mariot his
spouse, Walter of Soltre a burgess of Berwick, and John the Marischal of
Keith. It is interesti4ig also to find among these benefactors, in 1294, a
name of peculiar interest in the literary history of Scotland, Thomas of
Ercildoun, son and heir of Thomas Rymour of Ercildoun, the celebrated
Scottish poet, familiarly known as Thomas the llhymer.

The original Chartulary is a very small folio of twenty-seven leaves
of vellum, the last much mutilated. It was transcribed from the original
Charters by William of Cranystoun, Notary Public, as appears by the
Instrument, printed as No. 5.5, at page 48, dated at the Church of Pencait-
land, the 5th of February 1399-1400, in which the titles of the preceding
charters are specified. The charters are engrossed without any apparent
regard to chronology, and few of them bearing the date, an attempt has
been made to remedy this defect by re-arrangement, and the period of
their probable dates is given in the Tabula, within a parenthesis. Of this
register, on account of its antiquity, a notarial transcript was made by
George Newton, for the use of the Provost of Trinity College, according
to his attestation, dated I6th of August 1516. The ancient Register belongs
to the Faculty of Advocates. Newton's transcript, which remains among
the records of the City of Edinburgh, is a square folio of seventeen leaves
of vellum, each page being attested by him, in his official capacity as a
Notary. None of the original Charters have been preserved.

In the Papal Taxation of Churches and Monasteries in Scotland at the
end of the Thirteenth Century, is the following valuation of Soltre :^ —

Mngister. It is not possible to furnish a complete list of the Masters, but
some of their names have been recorded. In a charter of the end of the
twelfth century, Sir Reginald and Sir William of Soltre, chaplains, appear
as witnesses ; and Andrew of Soltre, and various other chaplains, occur at
a later period. In 1271, an inquisition was made regarding a dispute be-
tween the master and brethren of Soltre and the inhabitants of Crailing, in
Roxburghshire, regarding a claim for a thrave of corn in harvest out of
every ploughgate of the manor; the cause was determined by an assize, con-
sisting of a suitor (sectator), and four persons out of each of the three con-
tiguous manors of Eckford, Upper Crailing, and of Hetoun, w ho, under the
title of antiquiores patrice, decided in favour of Soltre.^ Radulphus, Magister
Hospitalis de Soltre, is named in the charter, No. 48. He swore fealty to
Edward the First, in the chapel of Edinburgh Castle, 29th July 1291.2
Four years later, Thomas, master of the Trinity Hospital of Soltre, did
homage to the English monarch at Berwick, 28th August 1296 ;3 and in
return, the said Thomas obtained precepts to several Sheriffs to restore the
estates and rights of the Hospital.^

After an interval of a century, the next Master we meet with was
Thomas of Aldton, on the 7th of April 1401,* and again in October 1410.^
Stephen Flemyng appears as Master of the Hospital of Soltre, 4th
of March 1426-7.^ His successor, Mr. Thomas Lawder, was a person
of great worth and distinction. His name occurs in the following Charters
as Master of the Hospital, 8th of January 1437-8, and last of August 1444.^
In the latter year he founded a chaplainry at the altar of Saints Martin
and Thomas in the Holy Cross Aisle of St. Giles's Church, Edinburgh ; and
this endowment was confirmed by royal charter in 1450.*^ Lawder was, in

1452, promoted to the See of Dunkeld, as a reward for his services as
preceptor to King James the Second : he was then aged about 60.
Abbot Myln, in his Lives of the Bishops of Dunkeld, who passes a high
eulogium on Lawder as a person of great ability and piety, states, that he
was the first to introduce the custom of preaching in his diocese. Feeling
the effects of advanced age, in 1476 Lawder resigned the See in favour of
the Dean, James Livingston ; but he survived till November 1481 ; and
Myln has recorded the inscription on his tomb, in the Cathedral Church of
Dunkeld.^ It is probable that Lawder had resigned his Mastership on the
occasion of his being appointed Bishop in 1452, as we find Alan Cant
styled Rector of the Hospital and Chancellor of the Church of St. Andrews,
apparently between 1453 and 1455." This designation renders it necessary
to explain, that Soltre Hospital was, by authority of Pope Nicholas V.,
annexed to the Church of St. Andrews, as the benefice of the Chan-
cellor, with the consent of Alan Cant, who then became Chancellor. Cant
had pursued his studies at the University of St. Andrews, where he became
a Bachelor of Arts in 1426, and a Licentiate in 1430. In 1460, we find
that he was deceased, and that his successor was John Tyky, Bachelor of
Decrees.^ In 1479? John Tyry was one of the Masters elected as assistants
to the Rector of the University of St. Andrews.

Upon the annexation of Soltre and its possessions, by Mary of Gueldres,
to the Foundation of the Trinity College, in 1462, its connexion with St.
Andrews was dissolved, and it was restored by Papal authority to its for-
mer state as an Hospital and Parish Church, under the charge of a Vicar,
who was appointed by the Provost of the new institution. John Heriot,
Vicar of Soltre, is witness to several Charters in the year 1467.* In October
1479, Sir John Heriot, as Vicar, claimed having power from Sir Edward
Bonkill, Provost of Trinity College, to grant a lease of the tithes of Fawnys.^

THE HOSPITAL OF SOLTRE. xi

Another change befell Soltre after the Keformation. When Trinity
College Church and Hospital and its revenues were transferred to the Pro-
vost, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh, Soutra, as it was then called,
having ceased to be maintained as a distinct parish church, the place speedily
lost its importance, and the buildings fell into ruins. In the Register of
Ministers 1567, William Frank appears as minister of the united parishes
of Sowtra, Fawlaw, and Keithhumbye, with a stipend of £30 (Scots), and
the vicarage teinds of Keithhumbye. In 1574 the two former places were
joined to Creichtoun, of which Adam Johnestoun was minister, with the
aid of three readers. The reader at Soutra had an allowance of 20 merks,
with the kirk -land, or glebe. In 1589 a separation from Creichtoun took
place, and the parishes of Fala and Soutra, although in different counties,^
were again united under one minister. This arrangement has continued
to the present time, Fala becoming the parish church, and Sputra existing
only in name, or in a few scattered houses, the population of the two united
parishes, according to the last census, in 1851, being only 434; the rental
however having greatly increased.

Before concluding these notices, I may add, that no plan or view of the
old Hospital or its ruins can be discovered. On visiting the locality last
autumn, to ascertain if the ruins were such as might serve for a vignette or
illustration to the present volume, I was informed that about ten or twelve
years ago, every vestige of the walls and foundation had been dug up and
carted away for building dykes and farm-steadings in the neighbourhood.
Such has too often been the fate of many of our old Ecclesiastical build-
ings, when in ruins, and standing in isolated positions ; the proprietors
being ignorant or indifferent for their preservation, and the tenants glad
to avail themselves of such an easy mode of obtaining building materials.
There still however exists a small aisle of the church converted into a
burying-vault, which had a narrow escape, as portions of the wall had

actually been taken down, when Its proprietor interfered, and caused it to
be restored. It formerly belonged to the Pringles of Beatman's Acre, a
piece of land adjoining, bestow^ed, it is said, by James the Fifth, in consider-
ation of a night's hospitality which he had received. A monumental stone
to some of the family, of a late date, is built into the gable of this aisle ;
and over the entrance a large stone or lintel wdth the date and initials,
16. D. P. A. R. 86, marks no doubt the year in which this portion of the
old church was so appropriated. Mention is made in the various notices
of Soutra of a fountain of excellent water, dedicated to the Holy Trinity,
and vulgarly called the Tarnity Well. This well, we are told, " though
it does not appear to have any medicinal qualities, was formerly much
celebrated and much frequented by sick and diseased persons." ^ In the
course of improvements it has also disappeared, the ground being under
tillage, and the water carried off by means of tile-drains.

It only remains to add, that the aisle above mentioned, which rises near
the top of the hill, now serves as a solitary beacon or landmark to denote
the site of the ancient Hospital and Church of Soltre, which, for many
an age, before poors-houses and infirmaries existed; had continued to mi-
nister relief to the sick or destitute, vrhile in such a sterile locality, it could
not but prove a welcome place of refuge for the weary pilgrim.

TRINITY COLLEGE, EDINBURGH.

The Collegiate Church and Hospital dedicated to the Holy Trinity,
Edinburgh, appears to have been projected if not founded by King James
the Second. ^ During his reign there existed no Collegiate Church within
the city, or in the immediate vicinity of Edinburgh. The premature death
of that monarch at the siege of Roxburghe Castle, by the bursting of a
cannon, on the 3d of August 1460, may have interfered with the neces-
sary arrangements ; but his widowed Queen, Mary, daughter of Arnold,
Duke of Gueldres, acting upon his intentions, became the actual foundress
of that establishment. The Papal bull of Pius II., which authorized the
annexation of the Church of Soltre to the College and Hospital newly
founded by the Queen, " de novo fundaverit, ac egregio quodam opere
construi edificari fecerit," bears the date at Rome, 23d of October (10th
kalends of November) 1460, was promulgated by Andrew Bishop of Glas-
gow in the parish church of Linlithgow, on the 10th of March 1461-2.
Its pious object was " the praise and honour of the Holy Trinity, and of
the always blessed and glorious Virgin Mary, of Saint Ninian the confes-
sor, and of all the saints and elect of God;" and likewise the salvation
of the soul of the Queen's late husband. King James, of her own soul, and
those of her kindred, and of the present Bishop of St. Andrews, whose
authority she supplicated to confirm this endowment.

The confirmation of this foundation by James Kennedy, Bishop of

tion in which she states the purposes of the new foundation, as a perpetual
College or Collegiate Church for a provost, eight chaplains or preben-
daries, and two choristers, to which there was to be conjoined an Hospital
for the support of thirteen poor persons named Beidmen ; while the sums
allotted to the Provost and other officials are specially enumerated, and
rules prescribed for the regular and efficient performance of their respec-
tive duties. The plan of the building was in the form of a cross-church,
of which only the choir, aisles, and transept were completed, with a south
porch, and a north chantry-chapel, all in the Second Pointed or Decorated
style of architecture. The site of the building was the low ground, with-
out the city walls, to the north-east, sheltered by the precipitous rocks of
Calton Hill, as exhibited in the accompanying plan, copied from Gordon's
survey of Edinburgh, drawn and engraved in 1647.

Second and the Queen Dowager, magnijico et smnptuoso opere, and con-
firms the transfer of the Hospital of Soltre, and of the chapel of Uthe-
rogall, in the county of Fife, upon the petition of the Queen and her eldest
son, King James the Third. The later bull, also of Pope Pius II., is dated
G kalendas Septembris 1463. It contains a grant of plenary indulgence
to all persons who should in a devout spirit of contrition visit the Church
in the course of five years, during the feast of its dedication, on the 10th of
July, or the following week, called its Octaves ; and the period was to be
further extended every five years, until fifty years had expired. Occasions
of this kind were eagerly embraced, and crowds resorted from all quarters
to avail themselves of this highly valued privilege. The offerings of each
person during the Octaves, when making confession, and partaking of the
holy Eucharist, were put into a coffer with two or more keys, one-third of
such contributions being reserved for the Papal treasury, ' to assist in
carrying on war with the infidels,' the other two-thirds were to be appro-
priated towards completing the building of the Church itself.

From the Inventory of Charters of Trinity College, prepared in 1580,
and printed at page 143, it is but too clear that the oldest Register written
upon vellum, and other early deeds, have been lost. This is much to
be regretted, as the existing transcripts of the foundation Charter and its
confirmation, and of the Papal bulls, are for the most part extremely inac-
curate, and great care was required in collating the different copies for giving
an accurate text. The second Register is a folio volume preserved in
the City Archives. It commences in the year 1504, and is peculiarly
interesting, as furnishing the occasional proceedings of the Chapter, with
accounts of receipts and expenditure until the year 1531, attested by the
original signatures of the Provosts and Prebendaries for the time ; besides
copies of later deeds and acts continued till 1586.

From other sources fortunately we derive some information regarding the
progress of the building. During the Queen Dowager's life, the work had

been commenced and carried on with great energy, under the direction of
Sir Edward Bonkill, the first Provost, and of the master of the fabric, or
architect, John Halkerstone,^ as appears from the subjoined extracts
from the unpublished Exchequer Rolls. These Rolls are not fully pre-
served, and some other entries connected with this edifice may perhaps have
been overlooked, but it is pleasing, from such an authentic source, to
recover the names of the persons to whom we were indebted for one of the
finest ecclesiastical buildings, even in its unfinished state, which existed in
Edinburgh.

* The name of Halkerstone was not uncommon in
Edinburgh during the fifteenth and Bixteenth centuries.
It is worthy of notice, that the principal access at that
time friim the city to Trinity College and Hospital, was
an alley or steep passage (No. 163, High Street), which
to this day retains the name of Halkerstone's Wynd.
See woodcut plan at p. xiv. This name occurs in deeds
at least as early as 1500, and we may conjecture that it
was so called in honour of the builder of the Queen's

College, ^^^len the present North Bridge was erected,
in 1768, most of the old houses on the west side of
Halkerstone's Wynd were demolished, and the passage
contracted in its width. But one or two "lands" re-
mained till they were rebuilt, in consequence of a great
fire which happened on the 5th of March 1819.

Trinity College Church, as above stated, was never completed according
to its original design ; but the accounts of revenue and expenditure of the
Chapter, between 1504 and 1531, included in the present volume, afford
sufficient evidence that considerable progress had been made in the build-
ing during that interval. No. 31 is an indenture or contract with Robert
Dennis, mason, who, for the annual fee of £26, and a bounty, agreed " to
labour and remain for his lifetyme in all maner of labouris concerning his
craft to and for the said College :" it is dated 8th of April 1531. Sub-
sequent accounts to 1551 are not recorded. But the loss of the entire
Register, between its foundation in 1462 and 1503, is much more to be
regretted. These later accounts, however, show that the interior of the
church must have been ornamented in a manner suitable to the beauty of
its architecture. Payments are made for rich covers to the high altar; for
curtains of plesance with silk fringes above the head of the Virgin; for silver
chalices, reliquaries, cups, and other vessels for Divine service ; also for
organs, and bells great and small ; and there is mention of images of the
Blessed Virgin and St. Margaret. These with the ornamented service books
have long since disappeared ; but there has fortunately been preserved a
painting which there is reason to believe was the Altar-piece of that church.
I allude to the Diptych, or folding doors, painted on both sides, containing
portraits of King James the Third, and his Queen, Margaret of Denmark.
This precious work of art, painted about the year 1484, is now, by Hkr
Majesty's gracious permission, restored to this country, and exhibited in
the great Picture Gallery of Holyrood Palace. In a communication read
to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland,i after the painting had been trans-
ferred from Hampton Court, where it was all but overlooked, I endeavoured
to prove its original purpose, by identifying the portrait of Edward Bonkill
the Queen's Confessor, and probably that of Mary of Gueldres herself, in
the character of an angel seated at the organ of the church, which forms

the reverse of one of the panels ; the other being the usual representation
of the Holy Trinity.

According- to the Queen's foundation, in 1462, confirmed by Kennedy,
Bishop of St. Andrews, the Chapter of Trinity College consisted of a Pro-
vost, eight prebendaries, and two choristers or singing boys. The first
prebendary had the title of Master of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity, the
second was called the Sacristan, the others were the Prebendaries re-
spectively of 3. Browderstanis, 4. Strathmartin, 5, Gilstoun, 6. Ormistoun,
7. Hill, and 8. Newlands, being so named after the places from which the
chief source of revenue was derived ; but which it is not necessary in this
place to recapitulate. Their duties are also accurately defined, and strict
rules prescribed to enforce residence and propriety of conduct.^ The Pro-
vost was enjoined to be present at all festivals ; anniversaries were to be
observed on the obits of the Queen, of the late King " our most tender
husband," and of Bishop Kennedy. Each prebendary was also directed,
whenever he said mass, that he should, in his sacerdotal habits, repair to
the tomb of the Foundress with hyssop, and there devoutly read the prayer
De prqfundiSf with an exhortation to excite the people to devotion.

It has already been stated that the first Provost of Trinity College
was Edward Boncle or Bonkill. His title, Dominus or Sir^ as applied
to priests, shows that he had not taken the higher degree of Master of
Arts ; but he was a person of distinction. I find from a notice acciden-
tally preserved that he was admitted a guild-brother of the town gratis in
1459, in acknowledgment of his aid and counsel.^ It is most probable he
was from the first connected with Edinburgh. In addition to the notices
of Bonkill which occur in the Exchequer Rolls, already quoted, on the 3d

March 1471-2, the name of " Sir Edward Boncle, Provost of the Colledge
of the Trinite beside the burgh of Edinburgh," appears in an action and
summons before the Lords Auditors for certain sums due as mails to the
Kirk of Sowtra.^ It also occurs in other two cases, 13th October 1479,^
and 13th April 1485.^ From the phrase in the two Exchequer Rolls
of 1496, tunc prepositi\^ and quondam, we learn that Bonkill was then
deceased. The name of his immediate successor as Provost from 1496
to 1502, if any one was appointed, has not been ascertained.

The next Provost of whom we have any notice was Mr. John Brady.
He was apparently a native of Lothian, and was educated at St. Andrews.
The name Jo. Brade occurs in the class of Determinants in 1478, and
M. Jo. Brady in that of Licentiates in 1480. At a meeting of the Uni-
versity, held on the 2d of January 1489-90, he appears among the deputies
of the district of Lothian ; and he became Archdeacon of Lothian. Brady,
who is styled Parson of Tannades, on the 13th February 1500-1, received
a presentation to " the channonry and prebend of Crechmond within the
Cathedrall Kirk of Aberdeen."^ In the Register of the Privy Seal in 1502
is the following entry : — " A presentatioun to Master Jo. Brady of the Pro-
vestre of the Trinite College besid Edinburgh withe a claus in the samyn
that the vicarage of the Wemys salbe annext perpetualle to the Provest of
the said College and his successouris, &c. De data primi Septembris anno
Domini v" and twa yeris. Et regni Regis xv*\ Gratis, per Signaturam."*^
Brady, who continued to be styled " Archdeane of Lowthyane," in the
year 1511, as Provost, gave in a propine to David Beton the sum of 44
French crowns, to obtain a new confirmation of some of their lands, and
to prevent the same being granted in feu to courteours.^ From this period
till his death in November 1525, he appears to have exercised a constant
and diligent superintendence of the College.

John Dingwall, his immediate successor as Provost was evidently the
same with Sir John Dingwall who is mentioned by Knox.^ John Dingwall,
whose name appears in the list of Licentiates of the University of St. Andrews,
in 1474, was probably the father of the Provost, as Buchanan expressly says he
was a priest's son. In confirmation of this, we find in the Privy Seal Register,
this notice, " Preceptum legitimationis Domini Johannis Dingwell capel-
lani, Henrici Dingwell, Jacobi Dingwell (and three sisters), fratribus et
sororibus bastardi, &c," but the father's name is not specified, 1st January
1511-12.2 His designation, sometimes as Dominus, sometimes as Magister,
might suggest more than one person of the name ; but by attending to
his various titles, as he enjoyed a plurality of offices, we arrive at a dif-
ferent conclusion. Among the auditors of the High Treasurer's accounts,
13th October 1516, he is styled " Dominus Johannes Dignvale, Archidia-
conus Cathanensis." Having acquired by purchase from one of the burgesses
of Edinburgh, a house and garden in the vennel of the Collegiate Church
of St. Mary in the Fields, he is called " Magister Johannes Dingwall, Sedis
Apostolice Prothonotarius, Ecclesiarum Moraviensis Rossensis et Catha-
nensis Succentor, Thesaurarius, et Archidiaconus ;" and in fulfilment of this
purchase he became bound to pay the annual sum of 26s. 8d. to the Provost
and Prebendaries of the said church, dated at Edinburgh, 8th of March
1518-9 ; two of the witnesses were * Magistri Matheus Ker, predicte ecclesie
collegiate prepositus, et David Vocat, eiusdem ecclesie prebendarius, Scolae-
que principalis Grammaticorum Edinburgi preceptor." In 1524, Dominus
Johannes Dingwall, Rector of Strabrok and Archdeacon of Caithness,
obtained a charter, under the Great Seal, of the mansion and orchard of
Wester Strabrok in Linlithgowshire, 15th September, and on the 19th
November he conveys the said mansion, &c., by a deed of mortification in
favour of the Rector and Vicar of Strabrok.^ Towards the end of 1525,
Dingwall succeeded as Provost of Trinity College. Upon the institution

of the College of Justice in May 1532, Sir John Dingwall was one of the
Judges on the spiritual side taking his seat as Provost of Trinity College ;
but he did not long enjoy this distinction, having died, it would appear,
within a few months of his promotion to the bench. On the 26th of July
that year, an action was raised before the Lords of Session by " Sir Jhone
Dingwell, Provest of the Trinite College besyde Edinburgh, for himself,
and as executour to umquhile Maister Jhone Brady his immediate prede-
cessour and Provest of the said College aganis Elizabeth Ker Lady Buk-
cleucht, and Walter Scott of Branxholrae knycht, hir sone," relating to
the arrears of teynd-schawis, and of the parsonage of the parish kirk of
Lempetlaw, in the parish of Sprouston, Roxburghshire, " for the space of
xiii yearis immediatlie precedand and befoir the deceis of the said umquhill
Maister Jhone quhilk deceissit in the month of November the zeir of God
I™ v^ and xxv zeiris."i On the following day, the 27th of July 1532, in a
similar action pursued against Sir William Scott of Branxholme,^ he is styled
Maister Jhone Dingwell, Prothonatour Apostolic, Provest of the Trinite
College besyde Edinburgh ; but I have not observed his name entered as
present at any subsequent meeting of the Lords of Session. We may con-
clude, therefore, that he was deceased on the l6th November that year,
when James Beaton, Archbishop of St. Andrews, George, Earl of Rothes,
and John, Lord Erskine, were admitted as Lords of Session, being chosen
by the King, " becaus thair is diverse deide, some seik, and some away of the
said Lordis of Sessione, quhairthrow there is no sufficient nomber conforme
to the acte maid thereupone of before, to decyde on all matteris, and to mini-
ster justice to all his leiges."^ Buchanan, in one of his epigrams, founded,
he says, upon some hexameters written by Sir Adam Otterburn of Auldhame
and Redhall, knight, refers to the proud titles inscribed on Dingwall's sump-
tuous monument, and says he had acquired great wealth at the Court of
Rome in his official capacity.*

It appears that Dingwall, by his last Will, had bequeathed some money
for carrying on the buildings of Trinity College, and that the masons em-
ployed raised an action before the Lords of Session on the 9th of July 1533,
for payment of this bequest, and of certain arrears which were then due by
his executors. It is curious in itself, and may be here subjoined.^

Some uncertainty exists respecting the next Provost. In the Registers
of the University of St. Andrews, we find the name "Willelmus Cunyng-

triculated in 1532. This might be any time between November and the

25th of March following when the year 1533 commenced. But whether in
consequence of death or resignation, Cunnyngham was succeeded by Mr.
Robert Erskine, whose resignation, on the 28th of July 1540, is recorded
in the presentation of Sir George Clappertoun to the provestry.

Sir George Clappertoun, one of the Prebendaries of Trinity Col-
lege in the year 1520, was Subdean of the Chapel Royal of Stirling; and
from 1538 to the death of James the Fifth in 1542, he appears in the Trea-
surer's accounts as " Maister Elimosinar (Almoner) to the Kingis Grace."
Dominus Georgius Clappertoun, in July 1540, as above, secured a presen-
tation under the Privy Seal to the Provostship of Trinity College near
Edinburgh ; and by that title he sat in the Provincial Council held at
Edinburgh in 1549-^ In a note to Knox's History of the Reformation,^ I
was led to conjecture that Clappertoun had resigned this office upon being
appointed to the Chapel Royal, but, as already stated, he had been Sub-
dean for several years, and the collegiate accounts prove that he continued
Provost till at least the 5th of September 1566,* when he probably resigned
in favour of his namesake, and no doubt relative, Laurence Clappertoun.

From the Register of Confirmed Testaments in the Commissariat of
Edinburgh, we learn that " Sir George Clappertoun, Subdene of the
Kingis Majesties Chapell Royall of Striueling, deceissit in the moneth
of Apryle 1574." His nomination of Mr. Robert Pont, then Provost of
Trinity College, as one of his assignees, may be held as evidence of his
having embraced the reformed doctrines.

Laurence Clappertoun appears to have held the office only about

three or four years : his name, as Provost, occurs on the '23d of July 1567,
and also I'ith of March 1570-1, in which year he must have deceased, as

Mr. Robert Pont, on the 27th of January 1571-2, obtained a presenta-
tion to the Provostry of Trinity College, Edinburgh, " vacant be deceiss of
umquhile Laurence Clappertoun last Provost thairof."^ Pont's history is well
known. He took an active share in church matters as a zealous Presby-
terian, was nominated one of the Lords of Session in January 1572, and was
admitted before 1574, one of the ministers of St. Cuthbert's Church, or the
West Kirk, Edinburgh. On the death of his colleague William Harlaw, he
had a presentation to the vicarage of St. Cuthbert's on 29th December, 1578.
In 1584, he was deprived of his seat in the Court in consequence of an Act
which prohibited " all persons exercising functions of the ministrie within
the Kirk of God to bear or exerce any office of civil jurisdiction." He
was the last of the Provosts of Trinity College,^ and having disposed to the
Magistrates of Edinburgh his rights to the office, no successor was ever
appointed. He died on the 8th of May 1606, in the 81st year of his age,
and was interred in St. Cuthbert's Church-yard.

A pastour of Christ's flock sometime was I,
Within the Church that standeth just hard by,' &c.

After the Reformation, Trinity College Church and its various endow-
ments were conveyed by Royal Charter to Sir Symon Prestoun, Lord Pro-
vost, and the Magistrates of Edinburgh, 12th November 1567. In the first
instance, the gift was specially intended for an Hospital for the support of
aged and helpless persons suffering through the events of adverse fortune.
But this design, by subsequent charters, and more especially by the Act of
Ratification in July 1 587, by which previous gifts during the King's minority,
was modified, and along with the support of the poor, provision for the mini-

sters of Edinburgh, for the education of youth were included, and also to
increase the funds of the newly erected College or University of Edinburgh.
As explanatory of these purposes, there is printed at p. 246, No. 220, the
original Signature by King James, of Confirmation and Novodamus of all the
Kirk Livings, to the Provost, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh, dated
7th August 1612, upon which a Charter under the Great Seal was passed.
But previously to this, probably about the year 1580, the building itself was
converted into a parochial church, and obtained the name of the North-East
parish church of Edinburgh. The first minister was Walter Balcanquall.
In 1574, he was one of the three ministers of Edinburgh ; in 1588, there were
four; but owing to the increased population, the town in 1598 was divided
into four quarters, and two ministers were allotted to each of these four
churches, instead of its being divided into eight distinct parishes. In this
way Balcanquall, as minister of the North-Eastern, or as it was commonly
called the College Kirk, received a colleague in the person of Mr. George
Robertson. He died 4th of August I6l6, in the 68th year of his age.

It is not, however, requisite to furnish any list of the ministers of this
parish. Of the church itself, numerous views have been engraved for
works connected with the history of Edinburgh, or the ecclesiastical anti-
quities of Scotland. Its site has already been described, and the accom-
panying plan, reduced from a drawing by Thomas Bonnar, City Architect
in 1814, with details supplied from the very accurate plans by Mr. Bryce
in 1848, when the church was demolished, exhibits the adjoining localities
as they existed half a century ago, and may be compared with the wood-
cut at p. xiv., copied from Gordon's map of Edinburgh 1647. The Eastern
portion of the North Loch had nearly two centuries ago been drained, and
converted into the " Physick Gardens," while another portion of the ground
belonging to the church was, in 1772, granted for the erection of Lady Glen-
orchy's Chapel, which had an injurious effect by circumscribing its limits,
and enclosing it with a dead wall. But these buildings, as well as Trinity
College and Hospital, have all been swept away, when the ground was

acquired by the North British Railway Company for a station, warehouses,
and other accommodations.

In noticing the destruction of this venerable Church, it would be foreign
to the object of the present work to enter upon the vexed question of its
proposed restoration. When it was scheduled for railway purposes, the in-
difference shown regarding it by the inhabitants can only be accounted for
by its unfinished appearance, as seen when looking down upon it from the
North Bridge, and their ignorance of its interior, which has been described by
an eminent architect as " a very beautiful decorated composition, with the
capitals of the piers enriched with foliage, not exceeded in design or exe-
cution in any English cathedral." After some further description of the
mouldings, the south door and open porch, &c., it is added : " This build-
ing is all of good decorated character, and is deserving of minute examina-
tion and study. "^ But the Railway Directors nevertheless felt assured of
obtaining the building at their own valuation ; the minister of the church
and the members of Presbytery deluded themselves with the dream of a
more advantageous site and a showy edifice, while the majority of the
Town -Council, with all their clamorous anxiety for the good of the parish,
were most willing to erase the church altogether from the roll of their
ecclesiastical patronage. What therefore could a few Antiquaries expect
to accomplish in their desire to avert such an act of barbarism,^ more
especially when Government, after being appealed to, refused to interfere
for the preservation of this Royal foundation, since it had become one of
the parochial churches of the city, and the parties concerned had con-
sented to its destruction ?

Trinity Hospital and gardens also shared the same fate. The original
building stood in the neighbourhood of the church on the eastern side of
Leith Wynd ; and Maitland in his History of Edinburgh, who has given a

detailed account of the Hospital, with the Rules for its governraent, states
that it was rebuilt in 1587.^ In the meanwhile the inmates were dislodged
and became out-door pensioners, thus infringing or annulling its consti-
tution. Amidst the clamour and disputes regarding a site for the Church,
the Hospital seems to have been forgotten, except for a foolish claim in
the name of some old female pensioners, as having a legal right to the
accumulated funds, although appropriated by an Act of Parliament for the
restoration of the church. It might have been hoped that a desire to orna-
ment the city would have actuated our civic rulers, instead of their repeated
attempts to rebuild a sumptuous edifice in the worst possible situation.
But the whole affair has been disgraceful to Edinburgh.

It may not be out of place to mention very briefly another matter con-
nected with Trinity College Church. Queen Mary of Gueldres, relict of
King James the Second, died at Edinburgh on the l6th of November 1463.
Some delay had occurred in her interment, and her funeral obsequies were
performed in the cathedral church of Brechin ;2 but she was afterwards
buried near the High Altar of the College Church which she had founded.
The Society of Antiquaries having recommended a careful search to be made
to discover her remains, various excavations were accordingly made by
authority, but unfortunately, as it proved, not at first in the right direction.
It is however unnecessary to give any details respecting the discovery of
the two female skeletons — the one in the mortuary chapel, as it was called,
on the north side of the church, the other, some months afterwards, within
an antique-shaped leaden coflBn, in the Apsis, near the place where the
High Altar must have stood, and which two distinguished medical professors
concurred in stating was that of a female probably of about thirty years of
age, but, as they conjectured, of weak intellect. The matter being brought
before the Society of Antiquaries, I was led to investigate the history and
character of the Queen Dowager ; and the result of this inquiry, proceeding
upon contemporary authority, was, that however much the Queen may have

been attached to her husband, the high-flown encomiums by our later his-
torians of her heroic speech to animate the troops after the King's death,
to bring the siege of Roxburghe Castle to a close, was nothing but a pure
fable ; that her age could not have exceeded thirty years ; and moreover,
that neither her private nor public conduct was such as to warrant any
exalted notions of her intellectual capacity.

Reference is made to the old Collegiate Seal in No. 204, which in
1574 was ordered by the Chapter " to be changit and reformit." Engrav-
ings of both seals are here given, the former from an impression, which is
not well preserved, attached to a deed of no importance in 1566; the latter
is interesting in having a rude representation of the Church itself.

THE KIRK OF FIELD.

On the rising ground to the south of the Cowgate in Edinburgh, but
beyond the city wall, was erected the Monastery of the Preaching, or Black
Friars, of the Order of St. Dominick. It was founded in the year 1230 by
King Alexander the Second, who bestowed the annual sum of ten marks de
Jirmis hurgalibas de Edinburgh, and also the vennel leading to the city, which
still retains its name of the Blackfriars Wynd. Subsequent donations were
granted by Robert the First, James the Third, and others. The buildings
of the Monastery, surrounded with gardens, were extensive and sumptuous,
occupying the site of Surgeon's Square, and of the former High School, which
is now connected with the Royal Infirmary. Rut the Monastery itself was
destroyed by fire in the year 1528, and nearly twenty years later the monks
were plundered during the Duke of Somerset's invasion. The monastic
buildings had only been partially restored when the Reformation brought
such establishments to a close ; and the Black Friars being included in the
grant of religious houses made to the Magistrates and Council of Edinburgh,
the stones of the ruinous buildings were used for other purposes.

Adjoining the boundaries of this Monastery on the west, but wholly
unconnected with it, stood a Church which was dedicated to the Virgin, and
known, from its site beyond the walls of the city, as St. Mary in the Fields,
or, as it was familiarly called. The Kirk of Field. Arnot supposed that it
also might have been founded by Alexander the Second ; while Chalmers,
whose words are repeated by later writers, says, " The age of this founda-

tion, and the piety of the founder, are equally forgotten." i There can be
no doubt that the church was of considerable antiquity, since we find in
the Ancient Taxation, usually assigned to the end of the thirteenth century,
under the head, " Abbas Sancte Crucis," among other dependencies of Holy-
rood, EccLESiA Sancte Marie in Campis, rated at 60s. Its name is also
occasionally met with in seisins and other deeds when describing the
boundaries of adjoining property : as ' the common vennel leading to the
church of the Blessed Mary in the Field ;'- ' et viam que ducit ad ecclesiam
Campi.'^ Its erection into a Provostry is however of a later date, and may
be determined with some certainty by examining the deeds connected with
the church itself, which occur in the older Protocol Books chiefly preserved
among the City Archives. This Collegiate Church is usually said to have
been designed for a Provost and ten Prebendaries ; but no charter of endow-
ment to this effect has been discovered. In the year 1511, certain waste
lands, adjoining the cemetery of the Kirk of Field, were assigned for the
purpose of erecting houses for the Master and chaplains of the several
altars founded in the said church, and for the performance of divine
services in singing collegialifer} In the same year, Ker, who became
Provost, is styled Master pro tempore; but in 1512, and in seisins of a
subsequent date, he is designed Propositus, and the church is uniformly
called EccLESiA Collegiata. Among the early benefactors connected with
this enlargement, Mr. David Vocat, one of the prebendaries, is specially
to be noted for his liberality. His name is also associated with one of the
chief seminaries of learning in this city, he having for several years filled
the oflSce of Master of the Grammar School of Edinburgh.''

A few years later, James Layng, burgess of Edinburgh, with consent of
his wife, by a charter under the Great Seal, grants to a chaplain officiating
at the high altar in this church, his tenement under the Castle wall, on the

North side of the King's street. In 1531, another Royal charter confirms
the mortification by Dame Janet Kennedy, Lady Bothwell, of some tene-
ments in Edinburgh and an annual sum of 20s. for a prebendary officiating
in the College Church of the blessed Virgin Mary in the Fields, ivithin the
walls of the burgh of Edinburgh ; the city wall having recently been ex-
tended in that direction. This Lady, who was the daughter of John Lord
Kennedy, derived her title from a grant by Archibald, Earl of Angus (her
supposed husband), of a liferent of the Lordship of Bothwell, 7th of Feb-
ruary 1509 TO, and confirmed the same day by a charter under the Great
Seal.^ Before her alleged marriage, she had a natural son by King James
the Fourth, who, in 1515, was created Earl of Murray.

The person who first held the office of Provost of the Church, " Pra^po-
situs Ecclesiae CoUegiatse nostre Domine de Campis prope Edinburgh," was
Matthew Ker, Master of Arts. His name occurs among the licentiates of
the University of Paris in the year 1498, and he is designed of the diocese of
Glasgow. On his return to Scotland he was preferred to the Vicarage of
Petirculter, and afterwards to the Kirk of Field. He also acted as deputy
of Robert Forman, Commissary- General, in the Official Court of the diocese
of St. Andrews, in deciding matrimonial cases. ^ He was probably dead in
1520, as we find Sir Alexander Coupar, chaplain and prebendary, acting
for the rest of his brethren.

The second Provost appears to have been Mr. Richard Bothvile or
Bothwell, who, as much by his own talent for public employment as by
family influence, obtained his full share of preferment. He was the second
son of Richard Bothwell, Provost of Edinburgh in the reign of King
James the Third. ^ He was educated for the church, and his name, in
the year 1500, occurs in the old Registers of the University of Paris,
where he probably took his degrees in law. At an early period of life
he obtained a prebend in the Cathedral Church of Glasgow, and became

Rector of Ashkirk, in Selkirkshire. In 1525, we find him described as
Doctor of the Civil and Canon Laws, Canon of Glasgow, Rector of Ashkirk,
and Provost of the Collegiate Church of St. Mary in the Fields. He was
also Director of Chancery to Kino- James the Fifth ; and on the institution
of the College of Justice, 27th May 1532, it being provided that one-half of
the Judges should be persons of ecclesiastical dignity, he had the dis-
tinction of being named first of the Ordinary Lords on the Spiritual side.
On the 11th of March 1539-40, Both well produced a letter from the King to
the Court, dispensing with his regular attendance, in consequence of his
being "greatlie troublit be infirmite and sickness," but reserving to him his
salary and privileges, out of regard to his " auld and good service done to
us, and to our derrest fader (James the Fourth." )i He however was able
to resume his official duties, as his name frequently occurs in the sederunts
of the Court after the date of the dispensation. On the 14th of February
1546-7, the presentation to Sir George Ker of the vacant prebend of St.
Matthew in the Kirk of Field, was addressed by Robert, Abbot of Holy-
rood, " to the venerable and excellent man, Mr. Richard Bothwell, licentiate
in the Laws, Professor of Theolog}", and Provost of the Collegiate Church
of St. Mary in the Fields."^ He died on the 1st of January 1548-9.^ In
the following month

Mr. John Spittall, Official of St. Andrews, appears as Provost
of the Kirk of Field, but he held the office only for a few jears. He was
Rector of the University of St. Andrews in 1547, 1549, and 1550. Dur-
ing the two latter years, and also as a member of the Provincial Council
held at Edinburgh in 1549,* Mr. John Spittal is designed PrcBpositus Beatce
Marice de Campis, as well as Principal Official of St. Andrews and Rector
of that University. His name as Provost occurs in the Officials' Register,
7th November 1552. He died, we may suppose, at the close of that year,

Mr. Alexander Forrest, who was educated at St. Andrews, taking
his degree of A.M. in 1534, is first met with as Provost of the Collegiate
Church, 18th February 1553-4.^ In the following year, the Provost and
Prebendaries, granted a feu-charter of part of their property to James,
Duke of Chattelherault ; and one reason assigned is specially worthy of
notice, as showing that their buildings were in a ruinous state long before
the Reformers had commenced their labours for the purgation of idolatry :
" considering (it is said) that their houses, especially the Hospital annexed
and incorporated with their College, were burnt dou'n and destroyed hy their
auld enemies of England [in 1544-47], so that nothing of their said hospital

were unable to rebuild the said Hospital ;" they had in consequence granted

Duke, for the purpose of erecting there a mansion-house for his own use.^
Mr. Alexander Forrest, Provost of the Kirk of Field, appears, from an old
Inventory of the Town's Charters, to have been alive in 1559.

After the Reformation, the various religious houses in Edinburgh hav-
ing been suppressed and the rights conveyed to the Provost and Magistrates,
Knox and his friends urged them to appropriate such revenues " for sus-
tenyng of the trew ministeris of Goddes word, founding, bigging of hos-
pitalis for the pure, and coUegis for learnyng and upbringing of the youth,
and sic uther godlie workis."* But selfish interests, and the unsettled state
of the country interfered with these liberally devised schemes. It may, how-
ever, have been for the purpose, which was afterwards carried into efi*ect, of
founding a College, that the Council resolved to purchase the rights of the

Kirk of Field, and we are thus furnished with the name of the next Provost,
Pennycuke. . . . ^ On the 5th of March 1562-3, " the Provost, Baillies,
and Counsale ordainis Maister Johnne Spens bailhe, Andro Murray of Blak-
barony, and Maister Johnne Prestoun thesaurer, to talk and commune wdth
the Persoun of Pennycuke tuiching the Kirk of Feild and hail bigingis
thairof." On the 21st of June, in the Council Records we have the terms
of a contract by which "... Penn3'cuik, persoun of that ilk, and Provost
of the Kirk of Feild," for the sum of one thousand pounds Scots agrees to
transfer to the Town " the hale bigging sumtyme callit the Kirk of Feild,
bayth auld and new, with kirkyard, lugingis, &c., that pertenit of before to
the Provostrie and prebendars of the samyn." Farther, on the 8th of Octo-
ber, a committee was named " to tak inspectioun of the Persoun of Penne-
cukis evidentis of the Kirk of Feild, &c., with all diligence, sua that the
said Persoun have no farder cause to complene of delay."*

Four years later, we find that Mr. Robert Balfour, brother of the
notorious Sir James Balfour of Pettindreich, was Provost of St. Marv's in
the Field, when the Provost's house, on the night of the 9th of February
1566-7, was blown up, with the view of concealing one of the most extraordin-
ary tragedies that any age or country has witnessed. This was the murder,
by Both well and his accomplices, of Darnley, who had been lodged in
the Provost's house, and where, only a few hours before, Mary Queen of Scots
had visited her husband. This atrocious event, and its consequences, are
too well known to require any details, but it has attached an imperishable
interest to the spot where it occurred. For the purpose of conveying an
accurate idea of the scene, a rough but spirited sketch of the Kirk of Field,
and the adjoining localities, was hastily taken and transmitted to the English
Court. It is preserved among the correspondence of the period in H. M.
State Paper Office, and, by permission, an accurate facsimile of this very
curious drawing is here given, on account of local interest.^

Balfour was forfeited b}^ Parliament in November 1579, along with
other persons who were accessory to the murder of Darnley and of the
two Regents.^ The Provostry being no longer reckoned an ecclesiastical
office, was then bestowed on John Gib, one of the King's attendants, in the
following terms :■ —

" Oar Souerane Lord ordanis ane letter to be maid under the Privy Seill, to Johnne Gib, ane

Dated 7th of December 1579/

It maybe added, thatEobert Balfour, " son lawfull to Andro Balfour of Montquhanie," on the
22d May 1584, obtained a Ratification by Parliament of a remission of his forfeiture, " Provid-
ing alwayis that thir presentis be not extendit to repone and restoir the said Robert to any right

ony termis bypast and to come, but that the same remane and abyid perpetuallie heirefter with
the Provest, baillies, counsell, and communitie of the said burgh of Edinburgh," &c.^

The buildings and ground of the Kirk of Field were soon afterwards
acquired and appropriated to a much higher purpose than that of rewarding
grooms of the bedchamber and other favourites. Robert Reid, Abbot of
Kinloss and Bishop of Orkney, who died in France, when sent as one of the
ambassadors on occasion of Queen Mary's marriage with the Dauphin of
France in 1558, had bequeathed the sum of 8000 merks for the purpose of
founding a College in Edinburgh. In the Queen's grant to the Provost and
Magistrates of Edinburgh of the Kirk lands, in 1562, when the various
religious houses were suppressed, the Kirk of Field was included : the objects

of this grant being the erection of hospitals for the poor, the endowment of
schools of learning, and the support of the ministry. The Kirk of Field, as
already stated, had been purchased in 1563, for the site of the College ;
but several years elapsed before the object so long contemplated was at
length carried into effect.

Professor Crawford, in his History of the University, written in 1646,
refers to the opposition which this scheme met with, until the year 1581,
when the amount of Bishop Eeid's bequest having been recovered, it was
again found necessary to purchase, for the sum of 300 merks, certain rights
to the Kirk of Field which had previously been conferred on John Gib
and John Fenton, two of the King's familiar servitors. The account
given by Crawford, as it contains a description of the locality, may be
quoted : —

" The time being favourable, was weell plyed by the ministers and
citizens of Edinburgh befor named, and many else assisting them. So that
having obtained ane gift of ane University w ithin the Citie, in the beginning
of this yeare (1581), they purchased from John Gib and John Fenton ser-
vants to the King's Majestic, their right of the Kirk of Field, to be a place
for the situation of the intended College : It consisted then of twa parts,
divided be a narrow lane goeing from the Cowgate, on the west syde of Mr.
Alexander Guthrie's yairds, thorow the place where the common-hall now
stands ; and from thence towards the west, where now the back-yet of the
College leadeth to the Potterraw Port. On the north-west of this lane was
the great lodging where now are the scholes of the private classes. This
was the lodging of the Duke of Chattelerau, Earle of Aran, and, be the for-
feitur of the Ilamiltons, disponed to some courtiers, and be them to the
Magistrates of Edinburgh. On the east and south syde of this land, was
the yairds, chambers, lodging, and kirk, belonging to the Collegiate pro-
vestry and prebendaries of the Kirk-a-ficld, commonly called Tcmphim
et Prcefectura Scmctce Marice in Campis, becaus that, when the Cowgate
was an Loch, it was instead of the wall of the towne. But afterwards, the

religious houses of the Blackfriers, Kirk-a-field, and Grayfriers, thought
it more safe for them to have the towne-wall drawin about without
them ; and so, drying the Cowgate Logh, they enlarged the towne on the
south syde. This Kirk-a-field stood along towards the east from the Pot-
terraw Port, haveing an gairden on the south, betwixt it and the present
towne-wall : On the east end thereof was the lodging of the Provost, where
now the Principall of the Colledge hath his rowmes ; and to the east from
thence (within the present colledge yairds), were the prebendaries cham-
bers, blown up with fire at the murther of King Henry ; and to this reli-
gious convent belonged all the Colledge yairds. For many years thereafter,
John Fenton keeped possession of the Provost of the Kirk-a-field's lodging,
and the yaird lying thereto.

of the Colledge with walls, &c. . . ."i

The accompanying plan, from Gordon's survey of Edinburgh 1647, may
serve not only to illustrate the earlier drawing of 1567, but also to show the
plan of the College, as it was divided into an Upper and a Lower Court.

Fields had disappeared, when these additions and alterations were made
during the first half of the seventeenth century ; as in turn the whole of
the old College buildings have been removed in the course of the present
century.

The original entrance, which led into the Lower court, was from the
north, immediately opposite the vennel which still retains the name of the
College Wynd ; and like that of Heriot's Hospital, it was surmounted with
a steeple, but no view of it has been preserved. This account was given
me by a well-known distinguished Physician, who was born within the walls
of the College in 1749, and survived till 1835. At a more recent period,
probably from 1789 till 1822, when the foundation of the present building
was laid, the entrance was from South College Street, by the gate repre-
sented in the subjoined wood-cut. The house to the left was that of Prin-
cipal Robertson, and afterwards of Professor Dalzel ; while the low range
of houses to the right, forming the south side of the quadrangle, had been
inhabited by some of the Professors ; the one next the gate served as the
Senate-house, while the adjoining one was the birthplace of Dugald Stewart.
But all personal recollections of these buildings, and their varied associa-
tions, must necessarily, in the lapse of time, be soon effaced. The Founda-
tion itself has now, for nearly three centuries, continued to flourish, and
to confer no ordinary lustre on Edinburgh as a seat of science and learning.

RESTALRIG.

According to the legendary history of the Blessed Virgin Triduan,
Lestalrik or Restalrig, in the vicinity of Edinburgh, might claim an
antiquity coeval with the metropolis itself. She is said to have come from
Achaia, in the fourth century, in company with St. Regulus, and to have
died at Restalrig in the year 510, in the reign of Eugenius the Third, the
8th of October being held as her festival day. Although no precise date
can be assigned when a church or chapel was first erected and dedicated
to this Saint, whose bones for many centuries were held in high venera-
tion,i or when it first became the parish church of Leith, we can trace
it back at least to the twelfth century. The names of some of the
early rectors or vicars of the church, during the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries, may be found in the Chartularies of Dunfermline, Newbattle,
North Berwick, and the Priory of St. Andrews. Adam, parson of the
church of Lastalrigg, in the county of Edinburgh, swore fealty to Edward
the First in 1296.2 In the Taxation of Ecclesiastical benefices in Scotland,
which was prepared about the same period, the " Ecclesia de Lestal-
rige," in the Deanery of Linlithgow, is valued at £19» 4s. 2d., and the

This was Adam St. Edmunds, brother of Alan St.
Edmunds, Bishop of Caithness, and, fur a short period.
Lord Chancellor. Having died intestate, King Edward's

officers seized in the King's hands all the goods and
chattels which the Bishop possessed at the time of his
decease ; but the English monarch, out of his special
grace for the services rendered by the Bishop, issued a
warrant for their delivery to the Prior of Coldingham
and to the Bishop's brother, " Magistro Ade de Sancto
Edmundo persone ecclesie de Lastalrik, fratre prefati

Tenths at £l, 18s. 5d.^ In the older Taxation, it is rated at 25 marks.
The names of barons of Lestah'ig of that ilk also occur, before the pro-
perty passed to the family of Logan of Restalrig, who appear more dis-
tinctly towards the close of the fourteenth century as superiors of Leith.
Sir Robert Logan, knight, Admiral of Scotland, was the founder of the
preceptory and hospital of St. Anthony in Leith. In 1435, an extra-dona-
tion of the right of patronage of the church of Restalrig was conferred on
Thomas Logan of Restalrig, by William, Bishop of St. Andrews.^ The
connexion between Restalrig and Leith was further strengthened by Royal
donations. There was a spacious building near the mouth of the harbour,
occupying a large extent of ground between the Broad Wynd and Bernard
Street, usually considered to have been a royal residence, and always
designed The King's Wark. None of our local writers, in tracing its his-
tory,^ seem to have been aware of the date of its erection ; but this is clearly
ascertained by the following payments entered in the Exchequer Rolls of
King James the Second : —

Two deeds, printed in the Liher Cartarum Sancte
Crucis, throw some light on the history of this pro-
perty. In 1450, James the Second grants to the Monks
of Holyrood his lands commonly called tfie Kingis Inche,
lying in the lordship of Bothkenar, in the sheriffdom
of Strevelyn, in exchange for the Monks' land lying in
the town of Leith in the barony of Lestalrik, formerly
alienated by the Monks to a certain progenitor of the
King. The other, of the same date, by James, Abbot of
Holyrood, describes the lands in Leith as that land now
commonly called The Kingis Werk, lying on the south
side of the water of Leith, &c. — (Pp. 141-144.)

In an Instrument of Seisin, 23d May 1494, in de-
scribing some boundaries, mention is made " inter ter-

ram sive tenementum Domini Eoberti Gourlaw capellani
Aitaris in Insula Australis Ecclesie beate Marie virginis
de Lestalrig." — (Canongate Protocol Book.)

The King's Work did not escape the general con-
flagration of Leith by the English during the two inva-
sions of the Earl of Hartford (afterwards Duke of Somer-
set) in 1544 and 1547. On the 21st of October 1564,
" the landis caUit the Kingis werk of Leith, with the
houssis and biggingis being thairon, which were brint
and destroyit be our auld inemies of Ingland. the tvme
of the birning of the town of Leyth," being granted in
few^ to John Chisholme, Comptrollar of Her Hienes
artillery (Register of Signatures in the Office of the
Comptroller); and he having repaired or re-edified what
was " alluterly decayit," he obtained a new infeftment
of the same from the Queen in 1567. Some years later,
James the Sixth erected into a free barony, the lung's
Work with its garden, and the waste lands surrounding-
it, in favour of Bernard Lyndsay of Lochhill ; and its
subsequent fate is recorded in the works above men-
tioned.

From this building. King James the Third, by a charter dated 3d
November 1477, endowed a chaplainry in the Upper Chapel of the Parish
church of the Blessed Virgin of Lestalrig, by a mortification, besides some
other grants, of an annual rent of twelve marks from his land commonly
called Le Kingis Werk in the town of Leith and barony of Restalrig. At
the same time, the King conferred the chaplainry on his beloved orator and
chaplain Patrick Hog, whose duty, and that of his successors, was to say
daily mass for the salvation of the souls of the King, of his dearest consort,
Margaret, Queen of Scotland, their offspring, &c.^

From the charters now first printed, we find that Restalrig was erected
into a Collegiate Church by King James the Third. The bull of Pope
Innocent VIII. which authorized the disjunction of Laswade as a mensal
church of the See of St. Andrews, and the annexing of it to Restalrig dedi-
cated to the Holy Trinity and the Blessed Virgin, states that the King had, at
his own expense, commenced to build in a sumptuous manner, and endowed
this Collegiate Church for a Dean and a suitable number of canons and pre-
bendaries. At the same time, authority was given for the induction of John
Frissell (or Eraser), presbyter of the diocese of St. Andrews, and Master of
Arts, as Dean. The bull is dated at Rome in November 1487, or within
seven months of the King's death. To the original church there had been
annexed one or more chapels, and upon an enlarged foundation mainly in-
tended for the cultivation of music. When we meet with the words Copella
Regia before the year 1500, the locality of the * Chapel Royal' is sometimes

very doubtful. In the Exchequer EoUs, July 1486-July 1487, £10, I6s. Od.
was paid, " Finlaio Fell latimo pro certis tegulis lapideis ad capellam Domini
Regis contiguam ecclesie parochial! de Lestalrig."

On the 3d of May 1506, Sir Walter Gray, chaplain in Lestalrig, was
allowed to set in feu-farm *' a land in the Cowgate of Edin^ for vj merkis,
quhilkis six merkis was conquest be umquhile our Soveran Lordis fader
(quhom God assolzye!) to the institution of ane Chapellain in Lestah'ig."^

King James the Fourth was a chief benefactor, as appears from his
charter 18th October 1512,^ having granted the annual sum of £20, out of
the King's Work of Leith, for the maintenance of an additional chaplain ;
and having also bestowed the parsonage of Bute, with all its revenues, to
be equally divided into six free prebends. In the charter of 1515,3 these
several foundations are recapitulated, and the stipends and duties of the
dean, prebendaries, and singing boys, specially defined ; and twelve
years later, the Rectory of Ellem was annexed to Eestalrig by King James
the Fifth.

The following list of the Deans of Restalrig may be considered as
complete.

Mr. John Frisale or Fraser, the first Dean, was a person of note, yet
there is some uncertainty regarding his parentage and early history. In
the Annals of the Fraser family he is said to have been a younger son of
Hugh, third Lord Lovat, educated at Oxford, and as Rector of Dingwall,
before he was promoted to the Deanery of Restalrig. Another authority
says, he was a natural son of Fraser of Fruid, in Peebles-shire, and a
Canon of Glasgow, Abbot of Melrose, in 1485, and Bishop of Ross, and that
he died in 1507, at the age of 78. In the Registers of the University of St.
Andrews, we find Joannes Fresaill among the Determinants in 1472, and
Mr. John Fresail, as Dean of the Faculty of Arts in 1479- He was, as
above stated, admitted to the Deanery of Restalrig when the Church became
Collegiate in 1487. Five years later he was appointed Clerk of Register

» Eeg. Seer. Siy. vol. iii. fol. 72. * Infra, p. 278. ^ I„fra, p. 280.

Rolls and Council. In the treaty of Peace with England, 15th of June
1493, he was one of the Commissioners, and is designated " Magister
Johannes Fresale, Decanus Capelle Regie de Restalrig, Clericus rotulorum
et registri ac consilii."^ Under the same titles his name appears in the Acta
Dominorum Concilii, 1492 to 1495. In the Exchequer Rolls, 21st June
1496-21st June 1497» we still find " Magister Johannes Eresale, Decanus
capelle regie de Lestalrig." A few months later he was promoted to the
See of Ross ; and in the Privy Seal Register is a precept for the admission
of John, Bishop of Ross, " to the temporalitie of all landis, rentis, and
possessionis thairof," dated the 3d of January 1498, xi'"" year of James IV.
That the Bishop of Ross was not Rector of Dingwall, appears from a
charter of confirmation, by which John, Bishop of Ross, grants to the
vicars and chaplains of the Cathedral Church of Ross, an annual sum of
£10 out of his property in Linlithgow, dated 10th May 1504, and one of
the witnesses to this deed is John Fresell, Rector of Dingwall.^

We may be excused in adding a few words regarding Bishop Eraser.
He was not unmindful of his former charge, having founded the chaplainry
of St. Triduan in St. Triduan's aisle in the Collegiate Church of Restalrig;
and James the Eourth, by his charter, dated 18th of October 1512,^ em-
powered the Abbots of Holyrood and Newbattle to erect it into a new
prebend. The Bishop finished the Cathedral of Fortrose, and has the
report of having been a good hospitable man.^ He died on the 5th of
February 1507, aged 78 ; and a monument, with the effigies of a Bishop,
in, pontijicalibus, still preserved in that church, is said to be that of Eraser.
A letter under the Privy Seal was granted in favour of Sir Robert Fre-
sale, Dean of Ross, Alexander Fresale, and James Makyson, executouris to
umquhile John, Bishop of Ross, of the temporalities of the lands of the

Bishoprick for one year, dated 1st of May 1507. It only remains to add,
that Alexander Fresale, burgess of Linlithgow, obtained from King James
the Fourth a charter of two-third parts of the lands of Arbole in the earl-
dom of Ross and shire of Inverness, which had fallen into the King's hands
" ratione bastardise Joannis quondam Episcopi Rossensis," l6th August
1507.

The Bishop of Ross was perhaps succeeded in the Deanery of Restalrig
by Mr. Henry Wood. In the Register of the Privy Seal,^ is this notice : —
" A presentation to Mr. Henry Wood of the Deanery of Lestalrig, quhen
it sal happin to vak be promotion of Mr. Jo. Fresal to the Bishoprick of
Ross, or be resignation or dimission of him. De data x Septembris, Anno
domini, etc., Ixxxxvij [1497-] et regno Regis x. per Signaturam : gratis."

No particulars regarding Wood have been discovered. On the suppo-
sition that he was duly inducted to the Deanery, he had for his successor,
Mr. Robert Boswell, a Canon of Dunkeld. His name as Dean of Restal-
rig occurs in the same Register, in a precept of confirmation to Walter
Cargill, of a charter " indentata per Magistrum Robertum Boswell,
Decanum de Lestalrig, Canon. Dunkeld. ac Prebend, de Fongort," &c.,
16 November 1507.^ Myln, in his Lives of the Bishops of Dunkeld, written
in the year 1515, and dedicated to Bishop Douglas, and the chief persons
connected with the cathedral church, includes Boswell prebendary of Fon-
gort, as an open-hearted, hospitable man (liberali et magnarum expensarum
viro), who completed the mansion house of his prebend, and other build-
ings ; and he informs us he was a son of Boswell of Balmuto. Mr. Robert
Boswell, parson of Auchterderran, is stated to have been the son of David
Boswell by his second marriage with Lady Margaret Sinclair, daughter of
William, Earl of Orkney and Caithness.^ Such a parentage was likely
enough to insure his church preferment. His birth may be placed about
the year 1458. The name of Ro. Boswel appears first in the list of Deter-
minants in 1475, and Mr. Ro. Boswell dives in that of the Licentiates, in

1477, at the University of St. Andrews. In November 1478, when chosen
Dean of the Faculty of Arts, he is styled Rector of Auchterderran. In
May 1479? *' venerabilis et nobilis vir Magister Robertas Boswel" was
elected Rector of the University, and again in February 1489-90. By
some private arrangement, Boswell resigned the Deanery of Restalrig in
1510.

occurs 20th March 1508-9;^ and his presentation to Restalrig is as
follows : —

Presentatio directa sanctissimo domino nostro Pape seu cuicunque alteri cui collatio
Decanatus de Lestalrig pertinet pro collatione conferenda Magistro Thome Diksoun caiionico
Abirdonensi super dicto Decanatii cum eundem per resignationem demissionem seu deprivationem
Magistri Roberti Boswell vacare contigerit etc. ad presentationem Regis spectantem. Apud
Striueling ... die mensis . . . anno 1510, et regni Regis 22.^

He was also prebendary of Turreff, Aberdeenshire, and on the 24th
August 1511, he obtained a presentation to the rectory of Dunbar.^ The
precepts for the royal charter (printed at p. 277), which grants two acres of
meadowland on the south side of the church of Lestalrig, is dated 15th
October that year ;^ and on the 18th May following, the King issued a pre-
sentation, directing the Bishop of the Isles to grant collation to Mr. Thomas
Dickson, Dean of Lestalrig, to the rectory of Bute, vacant by the decease
of Mr. Robert Abirnethy.^ Another change in the Deanery took place
within four years, as

Mr. John Douglas, who must have obtained a presentation to the
office, by a kind of simoniacal bargain, resigned to the next Dean his claim
of right, title, &c., which was sanctioned by the Lords of Council, on the
27th of June 1515:—

Mr. Patrick Covyntre, bachelor of Decrees and Divinity, was probably
a native of Lanarkshire. He was long connected with Glasgow, where he
was incorporated in 1487, and was for several years one of the principal
Regents of that University. ^ He held the vicarage of Glencarne in 1493,
and the rectory of Garvald in 1503.^ On the 7th June 1510, James the
Fourth conferred on him a yearly pension of £40, to cease when the King
should promote him to a benefice of the value of 100 marks yearly.* In
the Exchequer Rolls, 1515, there are the following payments to Coventre,

RESTALRIG. li

Mr. Patrik Covyntre, Dean of the Collegiate Church of Restallryg,
was one of thirteen ambassadors for negotiating a treaty of peace with Eng-
land who obtained a safe-conduct from Henry VIIL, 6th February 1515-6.1
Judging from the date of his successor in the Deanery, we may conclude
that he died about the year 1524; and in consequence of some special
endowment, we find it stated, in 1539, that the services of the vicar of
Strathevin (in the presbytery of Hamilton) included prayers "pro anima
quondam venerabilis viri Magistri Patricii Covintre Decani de Lestalrig."^

Mr. William Gibson, second son of Thomas Gibson, the ancestor of
the family of Gibson of Durie in Fife, became successor to Covyntre as
Dean of Restalrig about the year 1525. He received his education at the
University of Glasgow, where he was incorporated in 1503, and took his
Master's degree in December 150?.^ He afterwards obtained the vicarage
of Garvock, and in 1518, we find him styled Rector of Innerarity.* His
name as Dean appears as a witness to a deed on the 12th of April 1526.^
He was nominated one of the Senators on the Spiritual side, when the
Court of Session was instituted, 27th of May 1532 ; and from the Acts of the
Lords of Council and Session he seems to have taken a regular and active
share in legal matters. On account of his extensive abilities he was,
according to Douglas, frequently employed by King James V. in embassies
to the Pope, who honoured him with the armorial bearing of three keys,
and the following motto, Coelestes pandite portcB ; and adds, that as a
reward for his writings on behalf of the Scottish Church, he obtained the
title of Gustos Ecclesice Scotice.^ In May 1540, the Dean of Restalrig
became Suffragan to Cardinal Beaton, retaining the benefices which he
already held, and to receive in addition a pension of two hundred pounds
during his life. In the letter addressed by the King to Pope Paul III.
requesting the sanction of his Holiness to this arrangement, Dean Gibson

Is described as " hominem non modo ob singularem tbeologiae jurisque
peritiam, sed etiam ob morum vitseque integritatem, nobis cognitum et
dilectum."^

Dr. John Sinclair, a younger son of Sir Oliver Sinclair of Rosslyn,
was educated at St. Andrews, and obtained the Deanery of Restalrig sub-
sequently to his appointment as an ordinary Lord of Session on the Spiritual
side, 27th April 1540. On this occasion he took his seat on the bench as
Rector of Snaw ; and he appears as such in the Minutes of the Court until
May 1542, after which there is a blank in the Register. It is probable,
therefore, that Gibson was dead before 1545, Sinclair having been ap-
pointed Dean, and Mr. John Spittall succeeding him as Rector of Snaw."
In the Privy Seal Register is the following notice : —

Preceptum carte confirmationis Arthuro Sinclair fratri germane Magistri Johannis Sinclare,
in iitroque jure licentiati ac Decani ecclesie collegiate Beate Marie Virginis de Kestalrig super

The Dean of Restalrig, in Foxe's account of the trial and condemnation
of Adam Wallace in 1550, is mentioned as " a worldlie wise man, and not
ungodlie in understanding of the truth. "^ At a later period (under the
year 1557), Knox says, " that perfyt hypocryte Maister John Sinclare,
then Dean of Restalrige, and now Lord President and Bishop of Brechin,
began to preach in his Kirk of Restalrig ; and at the beginnyng held him-
self so indifferent [impartial], that many had opinion of him, that he was
nott far from the kingdom of God."^ And again, he speaks of him, " blynd
of ane eie in the body, but of boith in his saule."^ Having attended his

brother Henry Sinclair, Bishop of Ross and President of the Court of
Session, in 1564, when he proceeded to Paris to undergo a painful surgical
operation ;^ on the 18th September that year, Queen Mary addressed a
letter to Queen Elizabeth for a safe-conduct to Maister Johne Sinclair,
Dean of Restalrig, to return from France through England.^ The Bishop
of Ross, after lingering for some months, died on the 1st of January follow-
ing, and before the close of that year the Dean was promoted to the chair
as Lord President. About the same time he was also advanced to the See
of Brechin. But Sinclair did not long enjoy these honours, having died of
fever on the 9th of April 1566.^

Mr. James Lauder, the next Dean of Restalrig, was second son of Robert
Lauder of Bass. It is a singular circumstance to find an Act of Privy
Council, 13th March 1572-3, stating that "letters were raised at the instance
of Mr. James Lauder, Dean of Restalrig, against his father Robert Lauder
of Bass, who still detains him in strait prison in Beill."^ The cause of such
imprisonment at Beill, his father's residence in East Lothian, is nowhere
stated, but from some other unexplained reason he must have soon after
relinquished his office of Dean. It may be added in connexion with his family
history, that his elder brother, Sir Robert Lauder of Poppill knight, pre-
deceased his father, on whose death, in June 1576, James succeeded to the
property, but he was murdered by his servant in October 1580.'

Mr. Thomas Douglas had a grant of the Deanery of Restalrig, which
became vacant " by the simple dimission and resignation of Mr. James
Lauder, last Dean and possessour thairof," reserving a pension of £100 to Mr.
Nicholas Elphinston, 10th November 1573.^ Douglas was minister of Stra-
brock, and was translated in the following year to the united parishes of Dal-
keith, Laswade, and Glencorse. He derived little advantage from such pre-
ferment, having died in June 1575. In his latter will, dated 20th May 1575,
Mr. Thomas Dowglas, Dean of Restalrig, constituted " his spouse, Marion

Maister my Lord Regentis grace, Archibald Douglas of Kilspindie, and
George Douglas of Parkend, Capitane of the Castell of Edinburgh."^ His
loyalty and attachment as a Douglas to the Regent Earl of Morton is suffi-
ciently apparent.

Mr. George Ramsay was presented to the Deanery of Restalrig,
with the same reservation of Elphinstoun's pension, 25th October 1575.^
About the same time he was also admitted minister of Dalkeith, Laswade,
and Glencorse : his stipend " the haill twa-pairt of the Denerie of Restalrig
quhairunto he is newlie provided, £64, 4s. 5d., 1 chalder, 12 bolHs quheit," &c.
In order to obtain possession of the various deeds connected with the
Deanery, Ramsay instituted an action before the Commissaries of Edinburgh
against Sir William Sinclair of Rosslyn, into whose hands they no doubt
came upon the death of the Lord President. The decreet of the Com-
missaries contains an inventory of the several documents which were then
produced and transferred to the new Dean. It is curious and worth pre-
serving in this place : —

RESTALRIG.

lix

Of the Collegiate Church of Restalrig we have neither description,
plan, nor representation to furnish us with any correct idea of its appearance
and character. It must have been a building of considerable extent, with
houses attached for the Dean and Prebendaries. That it was also richly
decorated may be inferred from the circumstance that one of the earliest
acts of the first General Assembly, on the 21st of December 1560, was to
give directions for its demolition : — " The Ministers and Commissioners for-
saids being assemblit, finds that the ministrie of the word and sacraments of
God, and assemblie of the peiple of the whole parochin of Restalrig, be
within the Kirk of Leith ; and that the Kirk of Restalrig, as a monument of
idolatries, he raysit and utterlie caste downe and
destroy ed."^ That this injunction was carried into
efifect, appears from an incidental notice in a con-
temporary work, the " Diurnal of Occurrents,"
respecting the use to which the materials were
applied. During the siege of the Castle of Edin-
burgh, in August 1571, when the city was divided
by contending factions, with the view of strength-
ening the walls, a new port or gate was erected
inside of the Netherbow Port, and for this pur-
pose there was taken " all the aisler stanes
(wrought stones) that Alexander Clerk (who was
afterwards Provost of the city) had gadderit
of The Kirk of Restalrig to big (build)
his hous with; and als all stanis and lyme gad-
derit be Neil Layng to big his hous with."2 -

Notwithstanding the suppression of Restalrig "from henceforth and for
ever," as a separate parish by Parliament in 1609, we find from the Minutes

of the Kirk-Session of Leith, that forty years later a proposal for its restora-
tion was contemplated. Our Minister, it states, " Mr. Alexander Gibsone,
this 29th of Aprill 1649, did intimat to our Sessione, That the Presbyterie
of Edinburgh are of that mynd and purpose, with the consent of the Lord
Balmerinoch, to cause erect the Kirk of Eestalrig, and to devyd [it] from
the kirk and congregatione of South Leith." The Presbytery Records are
not preserved to throw any further light on this scheme.^ At that period
the property of Eestalrig belonged to Lord Balmerinoch. Some portions of
Eestalrig Church which were allowed to remain, consisted of the Eastern
window and the walls of the Chancel. At length, in the year 1836, the
ruins were restored, and converted into a place of worship, being used as
a chapel in connexion with the parish church of Leith. There are engraved
views by Grose, Storer, and others, but not very correct, of the ruined
church prior to this restoration. The one here given is from a sketch by
James Skene of Eubislaw, Esq., taken in the year 1817 or 1818, while the
wood-cut vignette, at page Ixiv, from a drawing made at the same time,
represents the church as seen from the village.

The cemetery around these walls was principally resorted to as a bury-
ing place by those of the Episcopal communion, for the convenience of
performing the offices of the dead. The mausoleum-looking building in the
former view, contributed in no small degree to the picturesque appearance of
this retired spot, being covered with turf and overshadowed with yew trees.
Although often said to have been the crypt or family vault erected by Sir
Robert Logan of Eestalrig (who died in 1440-41), by whom indeed it may
have been built, while it has been used as such by successive proprietors,^ it
was undoubtedly attached to the College, perhaps as the chapter-house, or
as St. Triduan's chapel. The building is hexagonal, and is constructed in-

ternally with a groined roof, the ribs springing from a centre pillar two
feet in diameter, with small vaulting shafts attached to the wall ; and the
dimensions may be stated as fifteen feet on each side from the present
base of the pillar, thus nearly corresponding with the sixteen feet of
each of the hexagonal sides of the wall. On the sale of the forfeited
estates in Restalrig and Leith, of Arthur, Lord Balmerinoch, by the
Barons of Exchequer, in 1755, James Earl of Moray was the purchaser,
at £16,961. As this crypt is not now used as a burylng-place, one in-
terment only within recollection having been permitted, it has been sug-
gested, that if the area were cleared, and the windows opened, which at
present are filled with ruble work, and the stone floor replaced, it would
be a charming specimen of the architecture of the fifteenth century, of
which so few specimens now exist in this part of the country. It would also
be desirable to examine the great pile, apparently of earth, on the top of the
building, as this might perhaps bring to light some remains of St. Triduan's
or the Upper Chapel. The accompanying section and elevation hatS been
kindly furnished by Mr. Andrew Kerr, Office of H.M. Works. Inside

may have been brought from without. There are several burying enclo-
sures round the church, including that of " the late Ronald Craufurd of
Restalrig, Esquire," its door built up with stone ; some of these may likely
enough be of an early date.

In former days the town of Restalrig must have been a place of much
greater importance than might be deemed from the straggling houses of the
present village. Whether Logan's house was that known as Lochend, or
on the site of what is now called Restalrig-house, is doubtful.

" At the distance of about a mile (says Maitland) from the Watergate,
at the foot of the Canongate, lies the Lake of Lestalrig, vulgarly Loch-end.
This lake, which is about four hundred yards in length, half as much in
breadth, and where deepest about eighty feet, as 'tis said ; and the fish
wherewith it is said to abound are only pikes and eels."^ For the King's
sport, no doubt, we find in the Treasurer's accounts, in 1507, " Item, the
xiij day of September (paid) to four men that rowit in ane bote on the
Lough of Restalrig to affray fowles, vs." During the siege of Leith, in
1559-60, Bishop Lesley states, that " the Lord Gray, Lieutenant of the
Inglis army ludged in Lestalrig town in the Deanis house, and many of all
thair hors and demi-lances."^ A house, with a small garden, not far from the
east end of the existing church, still retains the name of the Dean's House.
The old house of Craigentinny, in the immediate vicinity, formerly giving
a title to the family of Nisbet, is of the fifteenth century.

Before passing from Restalrig to Corstorphine, it may be proper to add
a few words regarding the parish Church of South Leith. This old fabric,
which was restored and somewhat remodelled in 1845, was erected towards
the close of the fifteenth century. Chalmers, who calls it " the chapel of
the Virgin," says it had existed a century and a half before 15(30. That there
may have been such a chapel is by no means improbable, but some of
his references expressly call it the Virgin Mary's Kirk ; as in 1490, when

Peter Falconer of Leith granted an annuity of 13 marks for supporting a
chaplain at St. Peter's altar; and in 1499, when Gilbert Edmonston of
Leith, bestowed 12 merks of rent to St. Barbara's altar. ^ In an instrument
of seisin, in favour of William Lauder and his spouse, the property is
described as contiguous to the churchyard of ''Hlie New Kirk of the Blessed
Virgin Mary in Leith," 3d of November 1496.^ On the 2d of August 1501,
John Logan, patron of the altar of St. Roche the Confessor, situated in ?iova
ecclesia Beate Marie de Leith, presented Sir Patrick Matheson to the chap-
lainry of that altar, then vacant by the death of Robert Cairns.^

It has already been stated, that the General Assembly in 1560, when
ordering the Church of Restalrig to be destroyed, enjoined the parishioners
to repair to the church of South Leith. But they appear to have considered
this a hardship ; and among other matters submitted by the Provincial Synod
to the General Assembly in October 1583, it is recorded, "Of old, Leith
and Restalrig wes one parish, and the parish kirk stood in Restalrig ; while
now by the Act of the Assemblie it is ordained to be in Leith, and yet Restal-
rig refuses, in respect of old alledged priviledges. Answer^ Ordains the
Presbytrie of Edinburgh to tak ordour heirwith."^ It was not however
until 24th June 1609, that South Leith was erected by Act of Parliament
into a distinct parish, and St. Mary's Church declared to be the parish
church, and " the kirk of Restalrig to be suppressed and extinct from hence-
forth and for ever ;" and that the benefice of Restalrig, parsonage thereof,
with the glebe and manse, pertain to the minister of Leith.^

The first Protestant Minister of Leith, Mr. David Lyndsay, was the
son of Robert Lyndsay, who was slain at Pinkie in 1547, a younger son
of Walter Lyndsay of Edzell in the shire of Angus.^ He early em-
braced the reformed doctrines, and at the nomination of ministers to the
chief towns, in July 1560, he was appointed to Leith, his stipend 300 merkis;

or £200, as stated in 1574, part of it being the thirds of the parsonage of
Restalrig, amounting to £82, 8s. lOd., with the four acres of kirk-land. i
At a later period it included " the haill personage and vicarage of Restal-
rige," valued at £247, 6s. 8d.^ His name frequently appears in ecclesiastical
proceedings, and he accompanied King James the Sixth in his voyage to
Denmark in 1589- In 1600, when the King, as the first step to introduce
Episcopacy, obtained an Act of Assembly permitting ministers to sit and
vote in Parliament, Lyndsay was promoted to the See of Ross; but he still
continued his charge as a parochial minister. He died at Leith, on the 14th
of August 1613, at the age of 83, being probably the last survivor of his
brother Reformers. It may be added, that he had for his colleague and
successor in the Church of Leith, in 1609, a namesake, but no relative,

CORSTORPHINE.

The parish of Corstorphine, anciently written Crostorfyn, lies in the
valley between the Pentland and the Corstorphine hills, about three miles
west of Edinburgh. Previously to the reign of David the First, in the
year 1128, when he founded the Abbey of Holyrood, there existed a chapel
connected with the manor of Corstorphine, and subordinate to the church
of St. Cuthbert, Edinburgh. In the foundation charter, the King grants and
confirms to the newly-erected Abbey the church of St. Cuthbert, under the
Castle wall of Edinburgh, with all its dependencies and pertinents, includ-
ing the chapels of Corstorphine and Liberton : " cum duabus capellis que
ad eandem ecclesiam Sancti Cuthberti pertinent, scilicet Crostorjin cum
duabus bovatis terre et sex acris, et ilia capella de Libertune, etc."^ There is
also among the Holyrood charters, one of Normain, Sheriff (Vicecomes) of
Berewic, in the same reign, which conveys to the Abbot and Convent of
the Holy Cross of Edinburgh, " capellam meam de Corstorfin, cum omni-
bus rectitudinibus capelle eidem pertinentibus."^ This chapel, we may
suppose, was afterwards known as the parish church. The earliest Lords
of the manor upon record were the Marischels, succeeded by the Mores of
Abercorn, until the year 1376, when the property was acquired by Adam
Forrester, an opulent merchant-burgess of Edinburgh. His name first
appears in the public records in 1362 ; and in the following year, with several

other Scottish merchants, he had a safe-conduct, being styled Adam For-
rester, mercator de Scotia/ He was Alderman or Provost of Edinburgh
in 1373, 1378, and 1387 ; he also held several offices of trust ; and was taken
prisoner at the battle of Homildon Hill in 1402, but was speedily ransomed.
About the same time he obtained the honour of knighthood. He died on
the 13th October 1405, and was probably interred in a chapel, dedicated
to John the Baptist, which he himself had founded beside the parish church
of Corstorphine. His widow survived him for many years. The service
of his son and heir. Sir John Forrester, is dated 6th November 1405,"
On the outer wall at the west end of the belfry, or the detached building-
used as the Session-house, there is inserted a stone with a monumental in-
scription to Sir Adam Forrester.

The first charter of donation and confirmation by King James the Firsts
of £24 for the endowment of three chaplainries in the chapel contiguous to
the parish church of Corstorphine, is dated at Edinburgh, 25th February
1425-6. Of this endowment, according to the terms of the charter, the
sum of £20 was bestowed by the King himself, and not simply paid out of
his coffers b}^ way of compensation ; with the additional sum of £4 (con-
sisting of two payments of 53s. 4d., and 26s. 8d.) from annual rents in Edin-
burgh, bestowed by the late Sir Adam Forrester.'^ In like manner, in the
Chamberlain Rolls, in the account rendered by the Ballivus of Edinburgh,
28th May 1434, the discharge includes " Et tribus capellanis per Regem
fundatis in capella beati Johannis Baptiste contigua ecclesie parochiali de
Corstorphine percipientibus annuatim viginti libras de firmis dicti burgi de
Edinburgh, &c,, xx li."^ But among the unprinted Exchequer Rolls, in
the year 1500, we find, " Et Preposito et Canonicis de Corstorphine per-
cipientibus annuatim viginti libras ex concessione domini Johannis Fores-
tair et confirmatione domini Regis Jacobi primi ut patet in rotulis prece-
dentibus dictis Preposito et Canonicis per suas literas fatentibus solutionem

super compotum xx li."i The right of patronage at least was conferred on
Sir John Forrester, who had granted three acres in the village for erecting
houses to the chaplains, with pasturage for three horses and three cows.
On the same day (25th February 1425-6) Sir John endowed, with £6, 13s.
4d., a chaplainry at St. Ninian's altar in St. Giles's church, Edinburgh, for
prayers for the welfare of the King and Queen, and for the souls of the late
Sir Adam and of Margaret Forrester, his father and mother, and of Mar-
garet, his deceased spouse.^ Sir John at this time was Master of the
King's Household and Great Chamberlain of Scotland.

The second charter of Corstorphine church was evidently the one by
which Dame Margaret Forrester, Sir Adam's relict, who still survived,
and Sir John, their son, bestowed an annual rent of £21, 13s. 4d. for the
support of two additional chaplains and two clerks in the same chapel of
Corstorphine. It was confirmed on the 26th May 1429- The erection of
the Collegiate Church is usually assigned to that year, when the build-
ings were commenced, as the inscription on the first Provost expressly
states, " istud collegium incepit a. d. 1429-" It seems, however, from the
Papal bull in 1444, that the foundation of the Collegiate Church was onl}^
then completed. In Sir Lewis Stewart's MS. collections, so often quoted
for transcripts of old ecclesiastical deeds, there is an abridged copy of the
Corstorphine charter of 1444 ; he has also preserved this inaccurate title
of what may be called the second foundation charter : " Fundatio Ecclesie
Collegiate de Corstorphin [per Johannem Forrester?] militem, ab Plcnrico
Wardlaw Episcopo Sancti Andree confirmata, anno 1429."* Sir John For-
rester, the Great Chamberlain, is erroneously said to have died in 1440,
and to have been succeeded in the office of Chamberlain by James Lord
Crichton.^ On the return of King James from England he had been
appointed Master of the Household (Magister Hospicii), 1424. In the
Exchequer Rolls, Sir John Forrester appears as Chamberlain (Camerarius

Scoti») in May 1425, and so till June 1441 ; the Rolls for three or four
years of a subsequent date, which might have fixed the period of his decease,
being- lost. That he was alive in 1444, when Corstorphine was erected into
a Collegiate Church, is at least highly probable : the continuator of the
Scotichronicon, ch'ca 1447, in his list of Collegiate Churches, names Cor-
storphine " cujus fundator dominus Johannes Forster pater ;" but this does
not imply his being then alive. His son, the second Sir John Forrester,
who had been infeft during his father's life in 1430, is said to have died
before 15th September 1454; but this date is not well ascertained. We
find, however, that the grandson. Sir Alexander Forrester, w^as in possession
of the estates in the year 1463.1

The third charter of foundation of Corstorphine incorporates the bull
of Pope Eugene IV., already referred to, dated at Rome, 15th July 1444.
It states that Sir John Forrester had assigned the annual rent of 120 gold
ducats for sustaining the provost, four prebendaries, and two singing-
boys, with the view of completing the Collegiate establishment ; and directs
Patrick, Abbot of Holyrood, as his apostolic vicar, to unite and incor-
porate the church of Ratho, wnth all its rights and emoluments, to the
said College for ever, the additional chaplains to be maintained out of the
fruits of that benefice. In virtue of such authority, James, Bishop of St.
Andrews, on the 30th October that year, gave his sanction confirming the
proposed arrangements. The original deeds are not known to be preserved,
but, on the ()th March 1628, an action was raised " at the instance of Mr.
Alexander M'Gill, advocate, son lawfuU to umquhill Mr. David M'Gill of
Nisbet, sometime advocate to our Soveranis dearest father, against Sir
George Forrester of Corstorphin knight, patron of the Provostrie of Cor-
storphin, and haifar (possessor) of the foundation;" and the Third founda-
tion charter being accordingly produced, the Lords of Council ordained the
same "to be transumed,"^ &c. From the official transumpt then made,
compared with " this authentic copy" in the Register, it is now printed
{infra, p. 298-304).

CORSTORPHINE. Ixix

Regarding the ecclesiastical buildings connected with Corstorpliine
there is great uncertaint3^ The chapel of St. John the Baptist, founded
before 1405, is said to be contiguous to the parish church ; and the latter
is usually held to have been distinct from the College. The old church
in all probability, like most buildings of the kind, was of small extent, but
may have been enlarged from time to time in having such chapels attached
to it. No part of the present building, as it now exists, is earlier than the
middle of the fifteenth century. Under each of two arched recesses on the
north w^all of the chancel there are recumbent figures of a knight in armour,
and a lady, with armorial bearings, carved on the front of these monu-
ments, which clearly indicate the two Sir John Forresters, who flourished
during the first half of that century,^ and lead to the conclusion, that the
monuments and this part of the edifice must have been subsequent to the
death of the second Sir John Forrester, about the year 1454. In a similar
recess in the wall of the south transept, there is another recumbent figure
of a kniffht in armour, said traditionallv to be the monument of Bernard
Stewart, Lord of Aubigny, who came to Scotland in an embassy to King-
James the Fourth, but died at Corstorphine, within a short time of his
arrival, in the house of Archibald Forrester, in June 1508. In his testa-
ment he expressly says, — " Inprimis, Do et lego animam meam Deo omni-
})otenti Beate Marie Virgini et omnibus Sanctis corpustjue meum sepelien-
dum fore in ecclesia Fratrum Nigrorum Edinburgi. Item, Lego in die
sepulture mee in funeralibus pauperibus aliis piis operibus et dictis fratribus
xiiij lib."2 Agreeably to this request, we may conclude, that instead of the
church of Corstorphine, he was interred in the monastery of the Black-
friars, Edinburgh ; more especially as the monument is unquestionably of
an older date, and the shields with arms indicate a Forrester.^

Nicholas Bannachtyn or Bannatyne, was the first Provost of the
Collegiate Church. He pursued his studies at the newly erected University
of St. Andrews, his name occurring, as one of the Determinants, in 1423,
and as a Licentiate or Master of Arts in 1425. According to his monu-
mental inscription, he became Provost in 1429, the year in which the Col-
legiate Church is said to have been founded. We also find his name,
" Magister Nicholaus de Bannochtyne, Magister in artibus, Prepositus
capelle Collegiate de Corstorfine," occurring as a witness to an instrument
of seisin of the barony of Corstorphine, 15th September 1436.^ He filled
that office for nearly half a century ; and in the inner wall of the chancel,
apparently transferred from the place where he was buried, is the following
inscription : —

The last words Orate pro animahus eorum are scarcely legible, having
apparently been purposely obliterated ; and the blank space on the stone
after the numerals m.cccc.lxx. may lead to the conjecture that the inscrip-
tion was prepared by Bannatyne during his own life, as he certainly sur-
vived the year 1470. This is proved by a charter of confirmation, under
the Great Seal, of a grant by William de Camera or Chalmers, Vicar of
Kirkurd, of certain lands in Corstorphine for sustaining a secular priest to
minister at the altar of St. Anne in the parish church, and one of the wit-
nesses was Mr. Nicholas Bannachtyne, Provost of the Collegiate Church
of Corstorphine, 20th September 1473.^

Mr. James Douglas was the next Provost, but nothing is known re-

specting his connexion with this College beyond the circumstance that
"Magister Jacobus Douglas, Prepositus de Corstorphing at Decanus de
Hadingtone," appears as witness to a charter dated at Dalkeith, 1st Sep-
tember 1479.^ At the University of St. Andrews, we meet in the Register
with the name of Jacobus Douglas among the Determinants in 1466 ; of
Jacobus Douglas, canonicus de Dalkeith, among the Licentiates in 1468 ;
and another, Ja. Dowglace, in 1471.

In continuing the list of Provosts, it is uncertain who Douglas had
for his immediate successor.

RowLL OF CoRSTORPHiNE, who is rcckoncd among the early Scottish
Poets, may have perhaps been Provost of the Collegiate Church. He
flourished towards the end of the fifteenth century; but all particulars of his
history are unknown, his name only having been embalmed by his contem-
porary Dunbar in his " Lament for the Makeris," written about the year
1507. Referring to Death, he says, —

He has tane Rowll of Abirdene,
And gentill Rowll of Corstorpiiine ;
Twa better fallowis did no man se :
Timor mortis conturhat me.'^

It still remains uncertain to which of them should be assigned the strange

rhapsody, entitled

The Cursing of Siit John Rowlts
Upoun the Steilaris of his fowlis.^

Mr. James Merchamston, whose name as Provost of the Collegiate
Church of Corstorphine next occurs, was, in August 1512, one of the Audi-
tors of the Treasurer's Accounts. He is also named in various deeds,
preserved in the Edinburgh Protocol books, between August 1512, and
September 1518. He was Rector of Hawick in 1504 ; and from the Trea-
surer's Accounts he seems to have been employed at the Court of James

the Fourth, having in 1502, received £50 "for ane young gray horse,
brocht hame be him furth of Flanders," &c. In a letter of James the Fourth,
11 th January 1507-8, he is styled " Magister Jacobus Mercheinstone noster
familiaris."! He probably survived till 1526-7.

Sir Robert Cairncross, chaplain to King James the Fifth, before he
obtained the Abbacy of Holy rood, in 1528, had been presented to the pro-
vostry of Corstorphine. The date of his investiture as Provost was the
5th of May 1527.^ It may be added, that in 1539, he obtained a grant of
the temporalities of the see of Ross, and in the following year was received
Bishop, and also held the Abbacy of Fearn in commendam. He died 30th
November 1545, and was buried in the Charionry of Ross.

Sir Alexander Scott, by the promotion of Abbot Cairncross, in 1528,
became next Provost of Corstorphine. The name was so common, that we
cannot presume to identify the persons of that name who incidentally are met
with towards the end of the fifteenth and first half of the sixteenth century.
It might have been the future Provost of Corstorphine (Dominus Alexander
Scott, presbyter) who obtained a presentation to the vicarage pensionary of
Glenquhome (in Peeblesshire), 6th April 1505.^ He at least was keeper of
the Rolls of Exchequer for many years, as we learn from payments in the
Treasurer's Accounts between 1512 and 1542. On the 6th April 1529,
Schir Alexander Scott, Provost of Corstorphine raised an action regarding
the crops of Ratho for this instant year 1528 ;^ and on the 8th March
1529-30, he appeared before the Lords of Council to deliver " the evidentis
of the Lordship of Dirltoun," which had been in his possession '• for the
space of xii. or xiii. yeiris bigane."^ In Balfour's Practicks, a case is quoted,''
The King contra Alex. Forestar, Provost of Corstorphine, 12th March
1529 ; but this is an evident mistake, as no such person was then Provost.

CORSTORPHINE. Ixxiii

On the 10th January 1540, Sir Alexander Scott, Provost of Corstor-
phine, founded a chaplainry at the altar of John the Baptist, St. Christo-
pher the martyr, and St. Ninian the confessor, in the church of Irvine.^
About the same time, a letter of King James the Fifth, under the Privy
Seal, was "maid to Schir Alexander Scott, provost of Corstorphine, in
his latter days," and in consideration of his long, faithful, and daily service,
" in all sessionis, chekkeris, and register," since the death of James
the Fourth, in 1513, and of his present inability " to ordour his benefice
as deuitie requiris," he received " free licence, liberty, and will to use and
dispone upon all his benefices, rentis, possessionis, and takis quhatsumevir
as he thinkis maist convenient and profitable."^ In the Treasurer's Accounts
for 1526 and subsequent years, his name occurs as one of the Auditors, and
as such he signs the Accounts rendered l6th August 1542. He probably
died in the course of that year.

Mr. James Scott, who succeeded to the Provostry of Corstorphine in
1543, was the third son of Robert Scott of Allanhaugh and Whitchester. He
was educated for the Church, and, in the reign of James the Fifth, was Clerk
to the Treasury. In September 1533, there was paid " to Master James
Scott be the Kingis precept, and of consideratioun of the Lordis (Auditors)
for his labouris in the Kingis materis, £13, 6s. 8d." For his employment
" in dyting of the RoUis" of Exchequer, his annual fee was £13, 6s. 8d.
After he became Provost of Corstorphine, he was, like his predecessor, one
of the Auditors of the Treasurer's Accounts (from 1544 to 1562) ; and in
the year 1554 he was appointed one of the Ordinary Lords of Session. He
died in the autumn of 1563. He built, at Corstorphine, a house or manse
for himself and successors, on which his arms, as Sir Robert Douglas men-
tions, are still to be seen.^

Robert Douglas is the next Provost of whom we find any notice.
He was brother of Mr. John Douglas, parson of Kirkbryde, and one of
the prebendaries in the College Kirk of Dalkeith. He died at Clerking-

ton, 23cl January 1584-5, according to his Confirmed Testament by the
Commissaries of Edinburgh, 18th November 1586. In his latter Will, he
desires to be buried in the College kirk of Corstorphine. Mention is also
made of his children, and of James Douglas father brother to the Laird of
Corstorphine. His library was very select, consisting only " of xij bukis of
Scripture, and audit bukis of prophane authors" — one of which he thus
bequeaths: "Item, to the Lady of Corstorphing, ane buik callit Chaser
[Chaucer ?] quhilk the yung lady has borrowit fra him,"

Mr. Alexander M'Gill, Advocate, was probably but a youth when he
obtained a presentation to the Provostry of Corstorphine. From the pro-
ceedings in 1628, already mentioned (p. Ixviii.), we learn that Sir James
Forrester of Corstorphin " then remaining in the parts of France," had
appointed as his Commissioners Sir Lewis Bellenden of AuchinouU, Justice-
Clerk, Mr. David M'Gill, King's Advocate, and Thomas Inglis, portioner
of Auldliston ; and they lost no time in granting this presentation, on the 23d
of January 1584-5, being the same day when Douglas died. At the same
time letters were granted in favour of the said persewar and his said
umquhill father (Mr. David M'Gill) as lawful administrator for his entres,
&c., for the crop of the year 1585. It would however seem that M'Gill
had derived but small emolument from the presentation, since he required,
after a lapse of forty-three years, to institute legal proceedings, to ascertain
from the foundation charter what rights, &c., belonged to him as Provost ;
and to this circumstance we owe the preservation of the charter itself. —
For minuter information respecting the chief persons and families, and
other matters connected with Corstorphine, I may refer to the account
of the parish in the New Statistical Account, prepared by Thomas Thomson,
Esq., W.S., to whom I have been greatly indebted in the course of the
present investigation.

It only remains to add, that for several years after the Reformation,
Corstorphine was not recognised as a separate parish, being again reckoned
as a dependency of St. Cuthberts, having a Reader, with a stipend of £13,

6s. 8d. At length, in compliance with a memorial presented to the Pres-
bytery of Edinburgh, 12th March 1587-8, this object was effected. To
establish the claim for Corstorphine that it was of old a parish church, Sir
James Forrester had referred to various deeds in his possession, and he was
directed to produce them at a subsequent meeting ; when, " sycht and in-
spectioun being taken be the Presbyterie of sindrie foundations of the said
paroche kirk of Corstorphine, with buUes and other rychtis, it was found,
that the Kirk of Corstorphine is of old a Paroche kirk, unto the quhilk the
Presbyterie interponis thair authoritie,"^ &c. Sir James, who died 4th
June 1 589,^ was succeeded in his estates by his brother, Henry Forrester.
Mr. Andrew Forrester, the first incumbent, was provided to the vicarage of
Corstorphine, vacant by the decease of Adam Bishop of Orkney, last vicar
thereof, 25th January 1593-4. The present building then became the
parish church,/ and has so continued to the present day. According to the
following extract from the Kirk Session book in May 1646, a new isle
was erected, most probably on the site of the old parish church, which was
then demolished, and the repairs or alterations made at that time may
account for some of the existing anomalies : —

In the year 1828, when Corstorphine Church was again subjected to
the necessary but unfortunate process of restoration, we may regret that
its original form had not been retained, and that, contrary to all rules of
Gothic architecture, a doorway, with a small porch, should disfigure the east
wall of the chancel. But the primitive look of the church externally has to
some extent been preserved, the older portions still having the stone roof of
overlapping slabs of old grey flagstones, and the belfry-tower, with a short
octagonal spire, remaining unaltered. The plans, before such alterations
were made, have not been traced ; but the accompanying view of the church
is interesting as exhibiting its appearance in 1817, when the sketch was
made by James Skene of Rubislaw, Esq., an accomplished amateur artist,
who has preserved many similar views of ancient buildings in various parts
of the country, as well as in Edinburgh and its neighbourhood.

MONUMENT IN COKSTORPHINE CHURCH.

CREYCHTOUN.

Creychtoun, Kreittoun, or Crichton, is a parish in the Presbytery of
Dalkeith, about twelve miles S.E. from Edinburgh. The Castle, an impos-
ing structure, now in ruins, is situated upon the precipitous bank or rock
forming the south side of the deep glen through which runs the Tyne.
This small stream, rising from the moor of Middleton, in the adjoining
parish of Borthwick, traverses Ormiston in East Lothian, and after a course
of about twenty miles falls into the forth at Tyninghame. The church
of Creychtune, which had been a rectory from an early period, in the
Ecclesiastical Taxations of the twelfth century, is rated at xxx marks/
There was also a chapel connected with the Castle, the ruins of which still
exist near the west walls, but quite distinct from the parish church.^

Alanus Persona de Creichtoun, appears as a party in a dispute
respecting the rights of Keith and Creichtoun during the thirteenth cen-
tury.'' William de Kreittoun, son and heir of the late Thomas de Kreit-
toun, burgess of Berwick, was Rector of the church of Kreittoun, in May
1338, when he granted to the monks of Newbattle certain lands in New
Cranstoun.^ The Church of Creychtoun, which stands on the same accli-
vity to the eastward of the Castle, may be referred to the middle of the
fifteenth century, when it was erected into a Collegiate charge. It appears

never to have been completed ; but like so many similar structures, it con-
sists of a choir, with north and south transepts, and a square tower, the
nave of the original design having, apparently, from the changing fortunes
of its founder, been left unfinished. The eventful history of the Crichtouns,
the Hepburns of Bothwell, and of other families connected with the
Castle and Barony, is fully related by Sir Walter Scott in the Provincial
Antiquities, and his account is illustrated with admirable engravings of the
Castle, from designs by Turner and the Rev. John Thomson, and of the
Church, by Edward Blore. See woodcut vignette at page Ixxxii.

William Lord Creychtoun, who filled for several years the high office
of Lord Chancellor of Scotland, with the consent of Sir James Creychtoun
of Frendraught, his son and heir, converted the church into a Collegiate
establishment in 1448 or 1449, for a Provost, eight prebendaries, and two
singing boys, for daily services, out of thankfulness and gratitude to Almighty
God for all the manifold deliverances he had vouchsafed to him. For the
support of this establishment, the Lord Chancellor had assigned the whole
revenues of the churches of Creychtoun and Locherwart (better known by
its present name of Borthwick), provision being made for the perpetual
vicars who were to serve these churches ; and the patronage of four of the
prebends was reserved to the Bishop of St. Andrews.

No original charters connected with this Church are known to be pre-
served, but an action having been raised before the Privy Council by Sir
Walter Scott of Branxholm, knight, and the parishioners of Crichtoun,
on the 14th July 1597, we learn that Mr. John Arthur, Advocate, was
ordered to produce the Register Book of the Bishoprick of St. Andrews, in
which the foundation charter of the Collegiate church, as ratified and con-
firmed by James, Bishop of St. Andrews, 29th December 1449, had been
recorded. This Register Book is unfortunately not known to exist, but
the Privy Council having ordered the charter to be engrossed in their own
records, it is now printed from that source, with its ratification.

The Church itself, which has always been kept in good repair, we have

CREYCHTOUN. Ixxix

assigned to the middle of the fifteenth century. The continuator of the
Scotichronicon has not included Creichtoun in his list of the Collegiate
churches, which indeed may have been written in 1447, one or two years
before its foundation. But there is an indenture or contract between
William Lord Creychtoun, Chancellor of Scotland, and Friar Michael
Gray, master of the Hospital of St. Anthony, Leith, in which mention is
made of certain lands granted " ad Ecclesiam parochialem de Crechtoun
seu Collegium inibi Deo duce fundandum,'' I6th May 1448.^

I cannot pretend to furnish a complete list of the Provosts of this
Church, but the following notices may afterwards be enlarged by further
research were it of much importance.

Sir Peter Creychtoun, Parson of Locherwart, having consented to the
annexation and arrangements of 1449,' he, in all probability, was the first
who held the office of Provost of Crichtoun.

After a long interval, we find, in the Treasurer's Accounts the follow-
ing payment, 13th September 1507 : — " To the Provost of Crechtoun, in
the name of my Lord of Sanctandrois, in his purs when he departit, 186
French Crownis of wecht," amounting to £188, 10s. The Provost was

Sir Thomas Halkerstoun, and the payment was connected with his
proceeding to France and Italy, as tutor or preceptor of Alexander Stewart,
the vouno- Archbishop of St. Andrews, a natural son of Kingf James the
Fourth, when sent abroad to complete his education. In the King's letters
he is styled " Dominus Thomas Halkerstoun familiaris noster, Archiepis-
copi preceptor."^ They returned to Scotland in 1510; but the youthful
and accomplished prelate, to the regret of Erasmus and other learned men,
was slain at Floddon in 1513. Thomas Halkerstoun Prepositus de Crech-
toun, was one of the Auditors of the Treasurer's Accounts, 3d August 1513,
or one month before James the Fourth's death ;* and in October the Pro-

vost of Crichtoun was one of the Council who were appointed to assist
the Queen Dowager, after that fatal day of Floddon. Sir Thomas Hal-
kcrstoun, Provost of Creychtoun, had a letter under the Privy Seal, 22d
September 1515. with licence " to big fore-stayrs toward the hie street of
his land and tenement in Edinburgh."^ He also audits the same Accounts,
3d October 1516; and again 4th September 1518.

Mr. George Lockhart, the next Provost, was distinguished for his
learning and his writings on Dialectics and Philosophy. He was a native of
Ayr, and completed his education at the University of Paris ; where for
several years he was Professor of Natural Philosophy in the College of
Montacute. In Kovember 1521, "Magister noster Mag. Georgius Lockhart,
S. Theol. Professor, Praspositus de Crechton" was chosen Rector of the Uni-
versity of St. Andrews; and again in the years 1522 to 1525. In January
1526-7, Robert (Schaw) Bishop of Murray issued a letter of commission to
the venerable and accomplished man Mr. George Lokcart, Professor of
Sacred Theology, and Provost of the Collegiate church of Creychtoun,
relating to certain bursaries in the University of Paris which had been
founded by one of his early predecessors, a Bishop of Murray.^ Lockhart
afterwards became Dean of Glasgow, and from the Obituary of that See,
vv-e learn that he died 22d June 1547.'

The name of Lockhart's immediate successor is not known. Several
years had apparently intervened before the office was conferred on Chalmer
who is next met with as Provost of Creichtoun,

Mr. David Chalmer or Chalmers of Ormond, was born in the shire
of Ross, and was educated for the church, probably at King's College,
Aberdeen. He proceeded abroad, says Dr. George Mackenzie, and studied
Theology and the Laws in France and Italy.* On his return to Scotland,
he was successively appointed Parson of Suddy, Provost of Creichtoun,

Creichtoun is uncertain. On the 26th January 1565, he was admitted
an Ordinary Lord on the Spiritual side, as Chancellor of Ross. In the
Parliament, 19th April 1567,^ her Majesty, Queen Mar}^ *' havand respect

&c., ratified and approved the charter under the Great Seal, of the lands of
Castleton and others in the Earldom of Ross, granted in his favour, 29th
December 1560. Soon afterwards, being openly accused of having been
accessory to the murder of Darnley, and of having assisted Mary Queen of
Scots in her escape from Lochlevin, he considered it prudent to leave the
country ; and in the process or doom of forfeiture against the Hamiltons,
by Parliament, on the 19th August 1568, " Master David Chalmer Proweist
of Creichton" is included. 2 During his residence in France, he published
in 1579, his " Histoire Abregee de tons les Roys de France, Angleterre
et Escosse," &c., along with two tracts, which he dedicated to Mary Queen
of Scots. After fifteen years' absence he returned to Scotland, and succeeded
in obtaining " his Hienes's pacification," 4th September 1583, ratified in
Mav 1584.^ On the 21 st June 1586, he was restored to his seat on the bench.*
He died at the Chanonry of Ross, 18th October 1592 ; and by his last will,
made the same day, he appointed his son William Chalmer to be " brocht
up be (his tutors) faythfullie, as they will answer befoir God ;" and that
the eldest of his two daughters, when of perfect age, should marry the son
of John Chalmer of Tyrie, whom failing, any other of the house of Streichyn,

feiture in 1568, had obtained a grant of the provostship. He was educated

at St. Andrews, being a Determinant in St. Salvator's College in 1555.
Whether he was in priest's orders, and held any living before the Reforma-
tion, is not known. It has already been noticed* that Soutra and Fala
were united to his parish in 1574, but they were again disjoined in 1589,
Johnstoun continuing minister of Creichtoun, as well as provost, and en-
joying the thirds of his benefice, with " the manse gleib and kirkland of
Creichtoun." In the year 1595, his stipend was " the haill Provostrie of
Creichtoun quherunto he wes provydit, £133, 6s. 8d." From incidental
notices in Calderwood, he appears to have taken an active share in church
matters, and to have been a zealous friend of Presbyterian church govern-
ment. He was present at the General Assembly in March 1595-6. "Mr.
Adam Johnstoun, Minister of Creichtoun," died at the close of that year.
In his last will, written at his request by the hand of Mr. Oliver Colt,
minister of Borthwick, and dated the 23d December 1596, he nominates

DALKEITH.

The town of Dalkeith is situated between the rivers called the North
Esk and the South Esk, six miles from Edinburgh. It derived its chief im-
portance in early times from its baronial castle ; but, the male line of the
ancient family of Graham becoming extinct in the reign of David the Second,
the property, and also extensive possessions in Liddesdale, came by marriage
to the noble and powerful family of Douglas. It is, however, sufficient in
this place to refer to the account of the Knights of Liddesdale and of
the Lords of Dalkeith, which Sir Walter Scott has given in the Provincial
Antiquities; and also to Douglas and Wood's Peerage of Scotland, and the
notices contained in the Preface by Mr. Innes to the Morton Papers and
Charters, printed at the expense of the Bannatyne Club. But the early
history of the Douglases is still capable and worthy of further elucidation.

At an early period there existed in the town of Dalkeith a chapel
dedicated to St. Nicholas. Robert the Second, in the second year of his
reign (1372), granted a license to James of Douglas to endow a chaplainry
in this chapel with the annual sum of £6, 13s. 4d. out of his lands of
Horsbruke.^ Five years later. Sir James of Douglas founded another
chaplainry out of his lands of Quilt and Fethane.^ In August 1380, Wil-
liam Bishop of St. Andrews gave institution to Sir Richard Mellok of
Aberbrothok to a vacant chaplainry in the said chapel.^ There was also

Ixxxiv DALKEITH.

within the precincts of the Castle at Dalkeith a chapel dedicated to the
Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist. Sir James of Douglas, first Lord of
Dalkeith, in founding a chaplainry there out of his lands of Louchurde and
40s. annually out of Kirkurde, enjoined that, should the said chapel be under
repair, the chaplain should perform his stated service within the chapel
of St. Nicholas, or, in the event of war rendering this impracticable in
either place, within the parish church of Lesswade.^ The charter is dated
5th December 1384. Sir James, as he advanced in life, was not un-
mindful of this chapel. The two interesting documents purporting to be
his Latter Will and Testament, dated respectively 30th September 1390
and 19th September 1392, are well known, and, it has been remarked,^
they "are better calculated to convey a just notion of his rank and impor-
tance as a Scottish baron, than any historical document that remains to us."
By the first of these deeds he bequeathed his best horse and £10 to the
Vicar of Leswade ; and besides a cup and a missal, the sum of £20 for the
reparation and roofing of the chapel of St. Nicholas of Dalkeith. By the
second, after payment of his debts and numerous legacies, the above be-
quests being repeated, he assigns the residue of his goods to the fabric
and ornament of the said chapel, to the support of the poor, and to the
payment of chaplains for two years after his decease. He survived however
to the year 1420, and was enabled to raise the chapel to the rank of a
Collegiate Church, and probably to see the buildings nearly completed,
having, with the consent of Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St. Andrews, pro-
vided out of his lands stipends and manses for a provost and five preben-
daries as perpetual chaplains, as detailed in his charter, dated 21st June
1406.^ Sir Walter Scott of Bukcleuch on the 25th January 1449-50, with
the consent of his eldest son and heir, David Scott, granted a renunciation
of his superiority over the lands of Lochurd and Kirkurd in favour of
John of Balkasky and his successors chaplains in the prebend of Kirkurd,*

which had been founded by Sir James of Douglas in the Collegiate Church
of Dalkeith.

In the old Papal Taxations the church of Dalkeith is not included,
being still part of the Vicarage of Laswade which was rated at £10. Its
erection into a separate parish is detailed in an interesting local charter,
from which we learn, that in consequence of the inhabitants of Dalkeith
having represented the very great inconvenience and danger to which they
were exposed during tempestuous weather in having to cross the streams
that fell into the Esk, as they resorted to their parish church of Laswade,
about two miles distant, and also, that the vicarage teinds were amply suffi-
cient to sustain two vicars, Patrick, Bishop of St. Andrews, had accordingly
given his consent to the proposed disjunction. By this arrangement it was
declared that, upon the decease or demission of

Mr. James Lewyntoun, at that time vicar, the inhabitants of the
town and castle of Dalkeith, and of the park commonly called Graham's
Park, and other places in the neighbourhood, should be under the spiritual
jurisdiction of a separate vicar, to perform divine service at the altar of the
Blessed Virgin in the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas of Dalkeith. The
original charter of confirmation, dated 1st October 1467, with the seals of
the Bishop and chapter of St. Andrews, is preserved in the charter-room
of Dalkeith House, and by permission of the Duke of Buccleuch, is now
printed in the Appendix to these Notices (p. cxvi.), as it was not recovered
in time to be inserted at p. 319 with the other deeds.

In the year 1477, the Collegiate Church of Dalkeith was farther
enlarged, when James first Earl of Morton added three canons, endowed
with the tithes of the three parishes of Newlands, Kilbucho, and Mordino--
ton. As this charter of endowment is contained in the Morton Papers, vol. ii.
pp. 226-235, it was not thought necessary to swell the present volume by
giving more than the bull of erection of Pope Sixtus iv. Alexander Gifibrd,
parson of Newbattle, having founded two additional chaplainries for the
altars of the Crucifix and of St. John the Baptist within the Collegiate

Ixxxvi DALKEITH.

Church of Dalkeith, this endowment was confirmed by a charter under
the Great Seal, 31st May 1504. It may be added, that among the Duke
of Buccleuch's charters is the deed of resignation and translation by Mr.
George Gifford of Scheriffhall, of his right of patronage to the above chap-
lainry of St. John the Baptist, in favour of James Earl of Morton. It is
dated 26th February 1517-18.

No Register connected with the Collegiate Church of Dalkeith has
been preserved, and the notices to be gleaned respecting the Provosts and
other officials are by no means complete.

Sir James Douglas Provost of Dalkeith is included in the safe con-
duct granted to James Earl of Douglas, to go to England in May 1453.^
Jacobus de Douglas, Canonicus de Dalkeith, who was a licentiate at the
University of St. Andrews in 1468,^ must be considered as a different
person ; and Mr. James Douglas, Provost of Creychton in 1479, has already
been mentioned.

Mr. William Gifford also was, in 1468, a licentiate at St. Andrews.
As prebendary of Dalkeith he is named in charters in the years 1479 and
1482.3

Sir John Crechtoun, vicar of the Collegiate Church of Dalkeith, is
noticed as taking instruments in the hands of the notary in the deed of
resignation 1517-18 above mentioned. There is also preserved an original
indenture between James Earl of Mortoun and " ane venerable clerk Schir
Johne Creichtoune vicar of Dalkeith," respecting the teind coals of Calder
and Dalkeith, dated 25th November 1531.*

Mr. Archibald Boyd, who became Provost, was probably a native of
Lanarkshire, and was educated at Glasgow. He was incorporated in that
University, 7th December 1507 ;^ but his intermediate employment, and
the date of his obtaining the provostry, have not been ascertained. His
connexion with Lanarkshire is suggested by his receiving under the Privy

Mr. Archibald Boyd sat in the Provincial Council held at Edinburgh
in 1549.^ The date of his death and the name of his successor are
unknown.

At the period of the Reformation Dalkeith was settled as a Presby-
terian church. In 1567, Robert Wilsoun was minister with a stipend of
£150. He was translated to the adjoining parishes of Newbattle and
Melville in 1574,^ and was succeeded by Mr. Thomas Douglas, minister
of Strabrok. Douglas, who had obtained a presentation to the Deanery of
Restalrig, under the Earl of Morton's administration, became minister of
the united parishes of Dalkeith, Laswade, and Glencorse. On his death in
1575 (as stated at pp. liii. liv.), Mr. George Ramsay became his successor,
both as dean of Restalrig and minister of Dalkeith, having the aid of a
reader, Andrew Robesoun, who received the third of the provostry of Dal-
keith, £8, 17s. 9d., with the whole vicarage of the same, extending to £13,
6s. 8d. During these changes there were still titular prebendaries of the
Collegiate church who continued to enjoy some of the fruits of the benefice.

By some private arrangement Ramsay having resigned his paro-
chial charge of Dalkeith about the year 1582, Mr. Andrew Simsoun be-
came minister ;3 and in 1584, he subscribed the King's "Band."* In 1585
and 1586, the following entry occurs in the Assignations of Stipends : Dal-
KEYTH — Mr. Andrew Simsoun, minister his stipend to be paid, the third of
the Provestrie of Dalkeith, £8, 17s. 9d ; the haill vicarage of Dalkeith,
£13, 6s. 8d., — and smaller sums from other sources. But in " Certain
Grieves of the Kirk assembled in Edinburgh, and given to his Majesty,"
2Uth February 1587-8, one was : " The Presbytery of Dalkeith complaineth
that manie of their kirks are destitute of pastors and provision, into the
which Papists flock and resort ; and that sundrie of the MInistrle are be-
reft of their stipends by annexation, as, namely, Mr. Andrew Simsoun, whose
whole stipend is taken away and given to the Abbot of Newbattle."^
Whether Simsoun resigned in consequence of this alleged procedure is
somewhat doubtful : one of his sons became his successor in 1588, and his
stipend is entered in precisely similar terms.

Mr. Archibald Symson, who was then admitted minister of Dalkeith,
consented, along with Ramsay, to the disjunction of the deanery of Res-
talrig, and the appropriation of the fruits to the parsonage of Laswade and

Among the Morton Papers there is a letter, dated 8th October 1592,
addressed to the Earl of Morton as patron of the Provostry of Dalkeith,
by Mr. William Scott,^ in favour of his brother-in-law, Thomas Hamilton,
then younger of Priesttield. It states that Hamilton, who had been appointed
a Lord of Session, was desirous to acquire a "kirk-title" or designation, and
the provostry being a benefice of small value, not exceeding 40 merks
yearly, he solicited his Lordship to sign the presentation, with the pro-
mise, " that in all your reasonabill adois and causis he (the new Judge) salbe
your Lordship's gude freind."^ The arrangement of this matter had pro-
bably not been completed, as Hamilton, on the 9th November, took his seat
on the bench by the title of Drumcairne. He was created Lord Binning in
1613, and Earl of Melrose in 1619, afterwards exchanging the latter title
for that of Earl of Haddington.*

In terms of the above Act of Parliament, George Ramsay and Archibald
Symson continued respectively parochial ministers of Laswade and Dalkeith.
Ramsay's stipend, according to the Books of Assignations, was " the third
of the vicarage of Leswaid, with the haill personage and vicarage of Leswaid
and Glencorse." He still retained his title of Dean of Restalrig in 1600,
as noticed in the Appendix. i From his confirmed testament^ we learn,
that " Mr. George Ramsay, sometime minister of Lessuaid," died on the
8th December 1629, leaving a widow, Margaret Murray: their marriage-
contract was dated at Dalkeith, 1st September 1608.

In like manner, Symson's stipend in 1596, was *' the haill personage of
Dalkeith, £93, Os. 8d., the haill vicarage of Dalkeith, £13, Is. 8d., and the
third of the provostry, £8, l7s. 9|d." He was the son of Mr. Andrew Sym-
son, one of the early Reformers, and a distinguished scholar, who was
successively, master of the grammar school at Perth, and at Dunbar, where
he was also minister till 1582. Patrick Symson, minister of Stirling, was
another son, of whom five entered the ministry, and all of them being zeal-
ous asserters of Presbyterian parity, they rendered themselves obnoxious
by their resistance to King James's scheme for introducing Episcopacy
into Scotland. Archibald Symson, minister of Dalkeith, author of various
works, died there in December 1632. — The succession of the ministers of
Dalkeith, continued to the year 1843, is very accurately given in the New
Statistical Account of the Parish.^

After the preceding notices, it would be unnecessary to say much
respecting the old church of St. Nicholas.* We cannot greatly err in
stating, that it must have been erected during the life of Sir James Douglas,
first Lord of Dalkeith, in the early part of the fifteenth century. In the
year 1686, the minister having reported the church to be in a ruinous state,
the Presbytery ordered it " to be made wind and water tight." Again, in

The Collegiate church of Rosslyn is situated on an elevated ground
called the College Hill, overlooking the North Esk, about seven miles to
the south of Edinburgh. It is a very common but popular error, even with
writers like Sir Walter Scott, to speak of this charmingly decorated example
of ecclesiastical architecture as merely a chapel. It is occasionally so
called in old deeds, but we have no indication of any separate chapel of the
name, and from the first it was designed as a Collegiate church, dedicated
to Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist. The establishment consisted of a
provost, six, prebendaries, and two singing boys or choristers. According
to the varied accounts, it was founded in the year 1446 by William St. Clair,
Earl of Orkney and Lord of Rosslyn. It is singular that the foundation-
charter should not have been recorded, nor has any copy of it, after a long
search, been discovered. There can, however, be no doubt regarding either
the name of its founder or the time of its erection. It is sufficient to state,
that the continuator of the Scotichrojiicon, circa 1447, in his list of Prcefec-
twce sive PrcBpositurcB, says, " Dominus Willelmus de Sancto Claro Comes
Orcadise est infahricando sumptuosmn structuram apud Roslyn.'^ We might
conclude from this notice that considerable progress had already been made
in the building.

This powerful nobleman succeeded his father Henry, second Earl of
Orkney, in the year 1420. His first wife was Dame Elizabeth Douglas,
formerly Countess of Buchan, and this lady is usually said to have erected
the sub-chapel, vv^hich was entered by a flight of steps near the High Altar,

or from the south end of the east aisle. The Earl was Lord Chancellor of
Scotland from 1454 to 1458. He had a grant of the Earldom of Caithness,
28th August 1455. When King James the Third, in 1469, received the
Islands of Orkney and Zetland as the dowry of his Queen, Margaret of
Denmark, the Earl in the following year made a surrender of the Earldom
of Orkney, which was then annexed to the Crown, and received in exchange
certain lands in Fife. He then continued to be styled Earl of Caithness
and Lord Saint Clair. For his second wife the Earl of Orkney married Mar-
jory, daughter of Alexander Sutherland of Dunbeath, who in his testament,
dated at Rosslyn the 5th of November 1456, desired his " body to be
gravy t (buried) in the College Kyrk of ane hie and mychti lord Wily am
Earl of Caithness and Orknay, &c., in Rosslyng, ner quhar hymself thinkis
to ly." Among his various bequests there were allowances for a priest to
perform daily service, and for " the byggyn and reparatioun of the said
College Kyrk :" also, "Item, I geve and lef ane of the chalys that Theman
has to the College Kyrk of Rosslyng." Three Earls of Orkney and nine
Barons of Rosslyn, it is said, were here interred. Some of the traditions
connected with

" that Cbapel proud,
Where Rosslyn's chiefs uncoffined lie ;
Each Baron, for a sable shroud,
Sheath'd in his iron panoply,"

may be regarded as poetical fictions. Father Augustine Hay's descriptions
of Earl William's sumptuous style of living may truly be called the
dreams of a fond imagination, as where he says, the Earl's lady was served
by seventy-five gentlewomen, whereof fifty-three were daughters to noble-
men, all clothed in velvet and silk, with their chains of gold and other orna-
ments ; or when coming to Edinburgh, she was attended by two hundred
gentlemen on horseback, and entering into her lodgings at the foot of the
Black Friars Wynd, she was preceded by eighty lighted torches ; and
also, how the Earl himself was royally served at his own table in vessels

pf gold and silver, Lord Dirleton being his master of the household, Lord
Borthwick his cup-bearer, and Lord Fleming his carver, their deputies, in
absence, being the Lairds of Drumlanrig, Drummelzier, and Calder. Con-
sidering the enormous expense of such dresses, and the usual mode of living
at that time, either at court, or among the Scottish and English nobility,
Arnot, the historian of Edinburgh, remarks, that he had no hesitation in
rejecting Father Hay's account " as a most extravagant romance." It is
indeed a flight worthy of Sir Thomas Urquhart of Cromarty.

In the destination of his estates, William Earl of Caithness, and his
spouse, Margaret Sutherland Countess of Caithness, granted charters to
their son. Sir Oliver Sinclair, knight, of the baronies of Rosslyn, Herbert-
schyre, and Pentland, on the 9th September 1476, including the advocation
and presentation of the College of Rosslyn and the Chapel of St. Matthew,
and of the president and prebendaries of the same : " De omnibus et
singulis terris et barroniis de Rossline, etc. . . . una cum villa de Rosslyne
in burgo in barronia cum donatione Ecclesiae Collegiatae de Rosslyne ac
prsBsidis et prebendorum dicti Collegii et Capellae Sancti Mathei in Ross-
lyne, etc. super resignatione dicti Willielmi Comitis Cathaniae, tenendis de
Rege." These charters were confirmed under the Great Seal, on the 1st
November 1486.^ Similar charters in favour of George Sinclair of Rosslyn
are recorded, 5th January 1491-2.2

On the death of William Earl of Caithness, between 1482 and 1484, or
nearly forty years after its foundation, the edifice remained unfinished. His
younger son and successor in the barony of Rosslyn carried on the work
to some extent. " Sir Oliver Sinclair of Rosslyn," says Father Augustine
Hay, " finished the Chapell, as appears by his scutcheon in the vault, whereon
there appears only a ragged cross, as also on the left hand of the window
of the sacristie under ground ; whereas above the high altar there is a
scutcheon quartered Cathness and Roslin, and betwixt the second and
third window, from the east to the west, there is a scutcheon quartered

Cathness, Norway, or some other family," &c.^ But the entire building,
like so many others of the same age, was never completed, as the nave was
never begun, and of the transepts the east walls only were erected. Be-
sides the high altar, there were three others dedicated respectively to St.
Matthew, St. Peter, and St. Andrew, and another in the sub-chapel to the
Virgin Mary. The endowment originally consisted of the church lands of
Pentland, four acres of meadow, with the kips [or jutting-points of land],
and eight sowms [horse-loads] of grass. In February 1523-4 Sir William
Sinclair of Eosslyn granted other portions of land in the neighbourhood,
for erecting dwelling-houses with gardens to the provost and prebendaries.
This charter, with its confirmation by King James the Fifth, is printed at
page 327.

The " Genealogie of the Sainteclaires of Rosslyn, including the
Chartulary of Rosslyn," forms part of the collections of Father Richard
Augustine Hay so often quoted, compiled about the year 1700. The
author being related to the family had access to their papers, and tran-
scribed many of the old charters ; but after giving that of 1523-4, which
is also included in the Great Seal Register, and two deeds of 1571 and
1572,2 he says, "I think that the other charters relating to Pentland,
and the Chapel of Roslyn, may be found in Comiston's hands, or in
Sir Alexander Gibson of Pentland's charter-chest, or els amongst my Lord
Sinclar's papers."^ A considerable portion of the charters thus transcribed
by Father Hay are in the possession of Professor W. E. Aytoun, who
most kindly and liberally gave the use of them, but, for the reason just
stated, they unfortunately were less serviceable for the present work than
I could have desired ; and inquiries in other quarters for any ecclesiastical
deeds have proved unsuccessful.

The loss of these earlier deeds connected with this Collegiate church
has, no doubt, deprived us of much interesting information ; and I have been

James the Fifth.

Sir John Dickson is styled Provost of Rosslyn in the charter of con-
firmation granted to Sir William Saintclair of Rosslyn, 9th February 1523-4.^
On the death of Mr. Alexander Synclar, last Rector of the parish church
of Pentland, Dominus Johannes Dyksone, presbyter, was presented by Sir
William Synclare de Roslyne, knight, 18th May 1521.2 J£is name occurs
in the list of Determinants at St. Andrews in the year 1512 ; but his history
is otherwise unknown ; and of his successor, the only incident recorded has
placed him in the rank of the early Scottish reformers. This Provost was

Sir David Huchesone, who received his education at Glasgow, hav-
ing been incorporated in that University in October 1520.3 According to
the annexed extract from the Privy Seal Register in August 1540, when
a gift of his escheated goods was granted to Oliver Sinclair the favourite of
King James the Fifth, we learn that Hutcheson had been condemned for
heresy by the Spiritual Judge ; but whether it was in absence is not stated,
and it is equally uncertain whether, in these troublous times, he had found
his way to the Continent as a place of shelter for persons accused as heretics.

Sir John Sinclair, who succeeded Huchesone in the provostry, was
probably related to the family of Rosslyn. A letter under the Privy Seal
contains the presentation of Sir John Sinclare to the vicarage of Alwes
in the diocese of Murray, 16th September 1538.^ In a Decreet-Arbitral

we find the name of " James Sinkler, son to umquhile Sir Olipher

burgh, in company with Sir Johne Sinkler, provest of Rosling, 13th Feb-
ruary 1541-2."! John Sinclare, provost of Rosling, was presented to the
vicarage of Dummany, in the diocese of St. Andrews, 2d January 1547-8.^
His name also occurs as Provost in 1551 and 1553.^ Sir John Sinclare,
provost of Rosling, was presented to the chaplainry called Ross, within the
deanery of Gowrie, and diocese of St. Andrews, 7th July 1555.* This
notice enables us to fix the period of his decease, as on the 20th September
1556 a new presentation was issued, " super capellania Roiss nuncupata,
infra diaconatum de Gourie, et diocesim Sanctiandree, nunc vacante per
decessum quondam Joannis Sinclare ultimi capellani et possessoris ejusdem."^
The name of the next Provost is somewhat uncertain, but we find that

Sir John Dickson, Provost of Rosslyn, granted a charter of the kirk-
lands to Edward Sinclair, son and apparent heir of Sir William Sinclair
Baron of Rosslyn, Pentland, and Herbertshire, dated 28th April 1571. He
can scarcely be identified with the person who was Provost in 1523-4. On
the other hand

Sir John Robesoun, Provost, within ten months of the date of the
preceding deed, with the consent of the Collegiate church, assembled in
chapter, on the 26th February 1571-2, made a similar or still fuller grant of
the kirk-lands in favour of the said Edward Sinclair younger of Rosslyn.
Both deeds are printed in the " Genealogie of the Saintclaires of Rosslyn."^
The latter is signed

Father Hay adds, " the subscrivers can scarcely writt." It is more re-
markable from the circumstance, that Robesoun alludes to his having held
the Provostship for several years, and that, owing partly to the distracted
state of the country, its revenues had been withheld. There may have
perhaps been some contending claims between Dickson and Robesoun. In
the latter deed, it is stated that the Provost and prebendaries, considering
the obligations they were under to Sir William Sinclair, had conveyed to
his son and heir Edward Sinclair, the kirk-lands of Pentland, &c., for the
annual sum of five pounds usual money of Scotland, and also engaged to
furnish eighty sheaves of straw from the tithes of the parish church of
Pentland, to support the cattle employed in tilling the said lands. — " Sir
Johne Robesoun, Provest of Rosling, persone and vicar of Paintland, dwell-
and in the town of Dalkeith," died 25th April 1583.i

After the Reformation, no provision had been made for supplying
Rosslyn with either a minister or a reader. It was considered to form
part of Pentland, and the parish of Lasswade at that period consisted of
three parishes united, Lasswade, Melville, and Pentland with the Provostry
of Rosslyn. Nor was it indeed until the year 183.5, that Rosslyn was erected
into a quoad sacra parish, and disjoined from Lasswade. But without enter-
ing upon its ecclesiastical state, it may be noticed, that the Synod of Lo-
thian and Tweeddale, 5th May 1590, directed Oliver Sinclair of Rosslyn " to
be called before the Presbyterie of Dalkeith, for not permitting George
Lundie (who had recently been appointed minister), to resort for the dis-
charge of his office to the kirk of Pentland." At a subsequent meeting of
the Synod, reference is made to former ordinances, which enjoined the said
Presbyterie " to tak ordour with the Lard of Roslingybr keiping images and
uther moniimentis ofidolatrie in his kirk,"" and also " to tak ordour with him
for demolishing of the said monumentis.'" Again, on the 3d April 1593, the
Laird of Rosling declared to the Synod,^ " he was nane of the paroehinaris

of Leswaid, but ane of the parochinaris of St. Katherinis in the Hopis, in
respect his residence was in the Logan-house tower." According to
Father Hay both the Chapel and Castle of Kosslyn were pillaged and
defaced, by an unruly mob, on the night of the 11th December 1688.

The Church of Rosslyn and the surrounding scenery on the seques-
tered banks of the Esk, with the caves of Gorton and Hawthornden, are so
universally known and admired as to render any description unnecessary.
The church itself is undergoing a somewhat unnecessary process of resto-
ration, at the expense of the Earl of Rosslyn. Among the hundred works
containing views of the Castle or the Church of Rosslyn, the following may
be specified: Slezer's Theatrum Scotiai, ir)9'3; Father Hay's Genealogie of

Page xxvi. — Provosts of Trinity College, 1532 1540. — In consequence of
having mislaid some of my notes, when preparing this account of the Provosts, the para-
graph at the foot of the page, commencing with the words "Some uncertainty exists,"
&c., should be deleted, and the three following paragraphs substituted : —

Mr. William Cunningham, the youngest son of William, fourth Earl of Glencairne,^
was educated for the Chui ch, and upon the death of Sir John Dingwell, was preferred to
the vacant Provostry of Trinity College, towards tlie close of 1532. He held the office
for nearly seven years. In a deed of William Earl of Glencairnc, dated May 1538, his
name occurs as a witness, "William Cunninghame, Provost of the Trinite College, besyd
Edinburgh ; " and again in another deed, " Pro Jacobo Naper et Mariota Quhite sua
sponsa," in February 1538-9, he is styled, " Venerabilis vir Willelmus Cunninghame pre-
positus Ecclesie Collegiate Sancte Trinitatis prope Edinburgh.'""' As there is reason to
believe that Cunninghame was promoted to the See of Argyle early in 1539, this will
account for his resignation of the Deanery at that time, when Thomas Erskine became
his successor; (See next page) — Keith's account of the Bishops of Argyle is very
confused and inaccurate. It may therefore be stated that Robert Montgomery,
youngest son of Hugh, third Lord of Montgomery and Earl of Eglinton, was pos-
tulated to that See in 1525. At St. Andrews that year his name occurs among the
students in Fedagogio, as "Magister Eobertus Montgomery postulatus de Argyll."
He appears as Bishop of Argyll (Episcopus Lismorensis) in a decreet-arbitral, 2d May
1530.^ Instead of surviving till 1557 or 1558, according to Keith, he was dead i)er-
haps in 1539, but certainly in 1544, when three natural sons were legitimized, "filiis
naturalibus quondam reverendi in Christo patris Eoberti Ergadie Episcopi."* King
James the Fifth, by the following letter under the Privy Seal, conferred on the Bishop
of Argyle a very extensive right of presentation to vacant benefices in his diocese : —
" Ane letter to William Bischop of Ergyle, gevand and committand to him power to
mak, direct, and gif vnder his awne sele and subscriptioun raanuale letters of presentatiqun
of all benefices pertenying to our Souerane Lordis presentatioun within the diocy of Ergile,

quhat time and als oft as it sail happin the sammyn to vaik, als lang as he beis Bischop
of Ergile, and to gif collatioun and prouisioun thairuponn without ony vther presentationn
of our Souerane Lord or his successouris, &c. At Edinburgh, the xv day of Februare,
the zeir forsaid [1539-40.]"^ At the Provincial Assembly held at Edinburgh in 1549,
among the Bishops present was " Willelmus electiis Lismorensis confirmatus." This
might seem as if Cunningham had only recently, owing either to want of interest or
some contending claim, obtained his confirmation to the See. While Cunningham was
Bishop of Argyll, he obtained, under the Privy Seal, " a letter maid to William Bishop
of Ergile, his airis and assignais, off the gift of non-entres, males, fermes, proffittis, and
dewiteis of all and sindrie, the landis and baronyes of Kilmawris, Stewinstoun,
Eamferly, Fyndlaystoun, &c., in our Soveranis handis, or his graces predecessouris or
Superiouris be resson of non-entres sen the deceis of nmquhill Robert Erie of Glencairne,
Cuthbert, or William Erlis of Glencarne, or ony of thame, 24th April 1550."- Wil-
liam was bishop in January 1554-5 ; but whether in consequence of death or resigna-
tion, James Hamilton, a natural brother of James Duke of Chattelherault, had become
Bishop of Argyle in 1558. It is probable that this was effected by an arrangement,
which secured " to Mr, William Cunningham''^ the pension of the Subdeanry of Glasgow.
Mr. James Hammilton, Bishop of Argyle and Sub-Dean of Glasgow, died 6th January
1579-80.

Thomas Erskine, eldest son of Sir Thomas Erskine, Secretary, obtained a presen-
tation to the vacant Provostry of Trinity College, 17th February 1538-9, according to
the following notice in the Privy Seal Register: — "Presentatio Thome Erskin super
prepositura Ecclesie Collegiate Sancte Trinitatis prope burgum de Edinburgh nunc
vacante aut quo tempore eadem vacare contigerit per resignationem cessionem aut
dimissionem Magistri Willelmi Cunynghame nunc propositi et possessoris eiusdem, ad
presentationem Domini Regis et collationem Archiepiscopi Sancti Andree spectantem,
etc. Apud Linlithgow xvij Februarii Anno Domini I™ v° xxxviij, Fer Signaturam."^
In the following year however he iiad resigned the office, apparently on being pro-
moted to a wealthier benefice, as Commendator of the Abbey of Dryburgh. (Lib. S.
Marie de Dryburgh, p. xxiii.) The deed of collation of his successor as Provost, ex-
pressly bears that the office had become vacant by the pure and simple demission " per
Thomam Erskyne clericum, ultimum prepositum."

Mr. Robert Erskine, Rector of Glenbervy, was the next Provost of Trinity College.
He was a younger son of John Erskine of Dun. He was educated for the Church at

the University of St. Andrews, where he was a Determinant in 1524, and a Licentiate
in 1526. The original papers from the Dun charter-chest, published by John Stuart,
Esq., in the Spalding Miscellany, vol. iv., throw much light on the history of that family.
From a precept by John Erskine of Dun for a seisin granted in favour of the Provost
and Canons of St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews, dated the 14th of July 1526, Mr. Eo-
bert Erskine appears as Kector of Glenbervy.^ The deed of collation by the Abbots of
Cambuskenneth and Kinloss of Mr. Kobert Erskyn, Rector of Glenbervy, to the Provostry
of the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity, near Edinburgh, bears the date 13th Sep-
tember 1539, and also the deed of institution by Mr. John Logan, Deau of the said
church.^ Logan continued to hold the office of Dean till after the Reformation ; but
Erskine, probably in consequence of his further promotion, within a few months had
resigned his Provostry, as stated at p. xxvii. Mr. Robert Erskyn appears subsequently as
Rector of Glenbervy and Dean of Aberdeen ; ^ and the Dean, apparently as uncle of the
Laird of Dun, signs a contract, 23d April 1552.* In the same year he obtains collation
of the canonry and rectory of Arbuthnot, called a Prebend of the Collegiate Church or
Chapel Royal of the Kirkheugh (canonicatus et rectoria de Arbuthnot nuncupata pre-
benda Ecclesie collegiate sive capelle Regie beate Marie de Rupe prope et extra civitatem
Sancti Andree).^ As Dean of Aberdeen his name occurs on the 5th January 1558-9.**
Mr. Robert Erskine, Dean of Aberdeen and Rector of Arbuthnot was alive in 1561.'^

pitaile of the Trinite College besyd the burgh of Edinburgh."

KIRK OF FIELD.

Page xxxvi, line 1, add, — An annual pension of £100, in the minority of King
James the Fifth, was granted to Mag. Richard Bothwell in utroque jure Doctor, for his
good and gratuitous services to us and our said tutor, John Duke of Albany, 20th
November 1520.

Page xxxvii. — Alexander Forrest was educated at St. Andrews, where he took
his Master's degree in 1534. As the names Forrest, Forres, and Forret were sometimes
used indiscriminately, we may identify him with Mr. Alexander Forret, Provost of Fonlis,
who sat in the Provincial Council at Edinburgh in 1549. In deeds connected with the
New Foundation of St. Mary's College, St. Andrews, the name occurs of Mag. Alexander
Forres, propositus de Foulis, 26th June 1550, and of Mag. Alexander Forrest, prepo-
situs Ecclesie beate Marie de Campis oppidi Ediuburgensis, 25th February 1553-4. In
a contemporary MS. we find under the apparent date 20th March 1555, at Rome.
' Item, apointed with M. Johnne Row for the Provostrie of the Kirk [ofj Field, and cans
M. Alexander Forres send his mandat to ratify the xx lib. pensioun reservit to the said
Mr. Johnne."— (Makkison's MS. p. 250, quoted in M'Crie's Life of Knox, vol. ii. p. 291.)
I presume the meaning is, that Row had been appointed to negotiate at the Court of
Rome for Forrest, not that he himself had ever been Provost.

Page xxxvii. — The name of Adam Pennycuik occurs in the Registers as a
student in the University of St. Andrews in 1543, and he probably was the future Provost
of the Kirk of Field.

The names of some of the Chaplains or Prebendaries in the Kirk of Field, which
occur in various deeds, may be briefly noticed. The deeds referred to are chiefly pre-
served in old Edinburgh and Canongate Protocol books, but they were not of sufficient
importance to be included in the present volume.

early part of the sixteenth century. As Chaplain of the chaplainry in the Kirk of Field,
founded by Thomas Russell, he, with consent of the Provost, bailies, &c., of Edinburgh,
patrons of the same, resigned the house, grammar school, and garden in the vennel of
the Kirk of Field, 30th August 1509. Vocat assigned an annual-rent and houses, tf)
found an anniversary service for his soul, 20th June 1521. A seisin was granted "cum

RESTALRIG.

Page li. — Mr. William Gibsone appears in early life to have held other prefer-
ments besides those mentioned in the text. From the Privy Seal Register (vol. v. fol.
117) we find that, on the 25th September 1517, Mr. James Forester obtained a presen-
tation to the rectory or prebend of Olrek in the diocese of Caithness, when it should
be vacant by the resignation of Mr. William Gibsone, in exchange for the vicarage of
Logymurdoch in the diocese of St. Andrews, belonging to the said Master James.

Page lii. — Mr. John Sinclair. — From the following extract from the Privy Seal
Register (vol. xxi. fol. 4.) it will be seen that he received the Queen's permission to
resign the Deanery of Restalrig in favour of bis nephew, James Lauder, as early as
1547.

In the same Register (fol. 6) there is a long letter, in Latin, of the same date, ad-
dressed to the Pope, soliciting his Holiness to grant his authority for completing the
proposed arrangements. It is uncertain whether the application was successful ; we
know at least that Sinclair not only retained the title and continued to act as Dean, but
also received the fruits of the benefice till the year of his death in 1566. His promotion
to the See of Ross a few months previously may perhaps have led to his resignation,
but it was no doubt in consequence of the above-mentioned negotiation that Mr. James
Lauder at length became his uncle's successor as Dean of Restalrig. See p. liii.

" When the Chancellor Morton," says Chalmers, " obtained from Queen Mary, in
1564, a confirmation of his estates, it included the advowson of the College and preben-
daries of the Collegiate Church of Dalkeith, with its pertinents. The specification of
such matters to such a man shows clearly that there was then no parish of Dalkeith." —
Caledonia, vol. iii. p. 799. The terms of the above deed clearly proves the reverse.
The Act referred to, dated 17th October L564, is contained in the Acts of Parliament,
vol. ii. p. 562.

In the year 1642, the estates of Dalkeith, with the patronage of the Church, were
purchased of the Earl of Morton by Francis Earl of Buccleuch.

BORTHWICK.

In former times the name of Borthwick was Locherwart, or Lochquhorwart, pro-
nounced Loch Wharret, when annexed by the Chancellor Lord Creychton to his newly
erected Collegiate Church (see p. Ixxiii.) After the Reformation, in 1574, &c., Borthwick

cxx APPENDIX.

was united to and under the jurisdiction of the minister of Heriot and Stow, with a reader,
James Gibson, who had the manse and glebe, and a stipend of £20. By a charter, 4th
April 1596, King James the Sixth disjoined from the Collegiate Kirk of Creichton the
prebends of Arnetstoue (now Arniston), Myddelton, and Vogrie, and two clerks ; and
these, with the whole vicarage of Borthwick, were erected into a separate benefice, as the
Parish Kirk of Borthwick. This arrangement was ratified by Parliament, 11th July
1606.^ But a few years later, 23d October 1612, Sir James Dundas of Arniston, Knight,
having represented to Parliament that the Kirk of Borthwick was ruinous, for the pur-
pose of " uphalding it," it was enacted, that the part of it called the Revestrie, should
be assigned to him for a family biu-ial-place in all time coming, in consideration of his
furnishing the expenses required for repairing the Church.^ The Church itself was
destroyed by an accidental fire in May 1775, but the walls were allowed to remain, in-
stead of the customary practice of using the old stones for constructing some barn-like
meeting-house, which almost inevitably replaced the old ornamented Gothic church that
harmonized so well with the surrounding scenery. This old ruin is chiefly remarkable
for the aisle which preserves the sculptured figures of its founder, as is supposed, Wil-
liam de Borthwick, and of his lady, a Douglas. There is an engraving of this monu-
ment, from a drawing by E. Blore, in the Provincial Antiquities.

Mr. Adam Colt, minister, was presented " to the benefice and parsonage of the
parish kirk of Borthwick, newly erected." 12th May 1596.

MELVILLE.

The name of " Thomas de Kirkmichel, rector parochialis ecclesie de Malvil Sancti
Andree diocesis, bacallarius in decretis," appears in a Papal letter in his favour to secure
for him the vacant benefice of the parish church of Kellis in Galloway, 4th Kal. Nov.
1463. Mr. Archibald Hay, Eector of the Parish Church of Mailuille, was inducted in
November 1536. He was Hector here, 11th June 1546. (Register of Dunfermline,
pp. 386, 394.)

LASSWADE.

The Church of Lasswade in the old Taxatio was rated at ninety marks. It became
a mensal church of the Bishopric of St. Andrews, in the twelfth century, forming a
prebend of St. Salvator's church, but was annexed to the Collegiate church of Restalrig
in the reign of King James the Third. Mr. Walter Lyndsay, appears in register of the

' Acts of Pari. Scotl. vol. iv. p. 327. « lb. vol. iv. p. 499.

LASSWADE.

CXXl

Faculty of Arts, St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews, 8th October 1457, and is styled
Rector of Lasswade, 28th January 1460-61. Dom. Johannes Crawfurd was Vicar of
Lasswade, 7th March 1501-2. Mag. Willelmus Nudry was Vicar of Lesswade, 16th
November 1529.

After the Reformation in the parochial divisions and arrangements, various changes
were made in the appointment of ministers and readers in this district, some of which
have already been specified. From its connexion with Restalrig and Dalkeith, it may
be added, that the old church of Lasswade having become unfit for public worship, the
present large and commodious edifice was erected in the year 1793. The minister of the
parish, in the Statistical Account, says, with some complacency, " The church now erecting,
in point of accommodation and magnificence of structure, will far exceed any modern
country church in Scotland ;" and his successor, in the New Statistical Account, conjoins
the new church, the manse, and the ruins of the old church, as " the three objects forming
a group remarkable for its beauty." Passing over " the magnificence of structure" of
the church, we are more concerned with the ruins of the old building (apparently a
structure of the end of the fourteenth century), portions of which were fortunately allowed
to remain, and are partly used for private burial vaults. A picturesque view of the
church from the south bank of the Esk, from a sketch by Mr. Clerk of Eldin, in 1776,
before it was concealed by houses on the opposite bank, will be found among "The
Eldin Etchings," Plate xlvii. The accompanying wood-cut is reduced from a charming
drawing made a few years ago by Mr. James Drummond, R.SA.
